Do to want a true dissipator or one of those with 2 gas blocks that look like a dissipator?
True ones with government profile are hard to find. |

Voodoos 16.5 ultra light with rifle gas is probably as close as you'll get.

That's the lowest you'll find that barrel. It's in line with what decent quality barrels run. |

Any gunsmiths working with melonite barrels?
tried Adco and they will not put A2 a front sight base on melonite barrels. |

Make one! If you or your gunsmith has lathe skills, turn down a larger barrel.
I turned this from a DPMS 16" SS Bull barrel. The gas block area is .750 and the area in front of and behind are .625. This thing started at 3.27 lbs. I pinned an A2 front sight in the rifle position for my A2 middy. chris |

IMO..yes. I like Palmetto but their track record with dissapator uppers has been spotty. The Spike's uppers are solid built light and built right.

Check out Del-Ton. There barrels are GTG and they make the dissy. All 6 of my builds run their barrels. Fit and finish is first class and they are surprisingly accurate

Have you talked to them about that yet? Emailed them last week and I was told they no longer work on melonite barrels. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Love my GMP, buy a quality barrel and have ADCO turn it down to a similar profile. I like the faux dissipator myself because I can replace the lo-pro under the handguard with an adjustable gasblock. If you don't already have a lower, a CAV-15 MKII is about a perfect match for a balanced, no frills, utility rifle.
