Are these a thing still? We're over 6 months now and I'm kinda wondering if I shouldn't just have had ADCO build me a barrel. Thanks. View Quote You know how this is going to work right? A few days after you have ADCO start your job the barrels are gonna drop. It's like waiting on a suppressor, just forget about it and one day you'll be really excited when you get that notification |

Perhaps. But we all learned that tis better to underpromise and overdeliver otherwise ARFCOM comes for blood. View Quote I could have sworn that you said production would start next week back in August. I guess I'm a little confused on how this under promise and over deliver thing works. |

How do you propose that those following this thread will get first dibs rather than sitting and waiting with anticipation, only to have them sold out in three minutes and miss out? View Quote And don't worry, we're making quite a few of these for consumption. |

They are heading out to Nitride. We will still have to attach extensions, drill, pin, etc. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Any update on these? Still in production. I believe out at Nitride last time I checked. |

Could you give us any details on weight w/ GB and FSB and profile measurements?

I was mistaken. We know everyone is passionate on this one and are sorry its taken this long. Will get some photos up for those waiting here shortly as "proof of life." View Quote |

After going through all this trouble and taking so long, I hope you had the foresight to make several hundred barrels.

I hate to ask for an update, but I'm going to anyways. How about an update?
|
|

So how do we get on the notification list?
This sounds like a great improvement over the GMP, profile wise anyway. It never made sense to me to leave the gas block shoulder and use .750". Extra weight for no reason. |

Bumping thread for more info. Seriously how is there not more of a market for Dissy uppers?? They're friggen perfect View Quote In all seriousness I bought the PSA Dissy Upper on sale in January and it has been sitting in the box ever since. I would have preferred to buy the Faxon, but I was afraid this was going to drag on and figured I better buy the PSA when it was available. I had to break down my Bushmaster C7 upper and remove the carbine barrel first and then breakdown the PSA upper and remove the barrel from that upper. The PSA barrel seems decent enough, nitrated, but their assembly left a lot to be desired. The barrel is not dimpled so I used my dimple guide and the screws on the gas block were not very tight or even lock tightened. Now it is good to go and hopefully shoots straight and is gassed properly. If Faxon ever sells this barrel I may still buy one, but if you give up like me and go the PSA route at least now you will know what to expect. |

I just bought a PSA dissy upper a week or so ago. But the Faxon people have piqued my interest. I would swap barrels out in a heartbeat.
|
|
Faxon has some big new stuff coming out, so the small order of Dissy stuff didn't get out as fast as we wanted, i will get a update next week

Fair enough, but they shouldn't come on here and spread false hope. They promised photos over a month ago. Essentially claiming they were done except for Nitride.

@RogueNathan
Would one of these barrels fit OK with a 12" Aero M4E1 upper/rail combo? |
|
Have the FSBs been installed?
Are the barrels off for nitride? Has Faxon bailed on this thread? |
|
Pimp, will you run a deal on a rear iron sight when ever these barrels are released in the next 20 or so years?

I am disappointed that Faxon deemed it appropriate to lead everyone in this thread along in believing that they had any intention to produce these barrels. They should have a better understanding of their production capacity and they should have owned up to the fact that they could not effectively manage this project, or that they had no intention to begin the project.
