Hey everyone, I want my current upper to to become more like a dissipator and I can use some advice. From the searching I've done on google it looks like it is possible to get a clamp on front sight and put it near the muzzle and have good results, what I'm concerned about is that I have this barrel: https://danieldefense.com/16-5-56mm-mid-length-1-7-lw-profile.html
I'm worried that certain front sights will not fit properly since it is a lightweight barrel that happens to be free floating and I don't know just how much that can affect fitting. I'm not opposed to getting something pinned, I'm open to different options. |

I just finished a build using the Spikes Tactical upper unit sold via AIM Surplus (using the pencil barrel) mounted on top of a Spikes Crusader lower with an A1 stock and Black Rain Ordinance trigger assembly. I'll use an A2 carry handle on the flat top and most likely some sort of red dot. I'm more than satisfied so far and as long as the groups are good to about 200 yards I'll consider it money well-spent. Seems well-balanced too. As soon as I can figure out how to post photos on here using this Apple desk top I post them up there. Haven't had time to get it to the range yet but that day is coming. |

Is anybody still making a high quality dissipator? Preferably lightweight. I know I could make one or modify. One, but just curious.

I really like those CavArms HGs. I have a couple "real" A2 HGs, but much refer the improved shape/feel of the CavArms version.

I think PSA has recently started to leave barrels with FN markings rather than having their own logo.

Definitely A2 stock. IMO. That with the carry handle lends itself to appear M-16 ish. Always a cool thing. Plus, the open sights are more of an instinctive "center mass" aiming device. Point and click. Like a shotgun. Unless the A2 stock doesn't fit your shooting technique, I'd say go for it.
Not to say people can't be precise with open sights. I personally don't have the eyes like I used to. |
