It will be a day of much rejoicing, I really don’t understand why nobody does it.

People like to point out that 605 barrels don’t sell well so it’s not worth doing, that’s apples and oranges. Nobody wants a rifle gas 15” pinned and welded barrel, 16” faux dissys are quite popular. I don’t even care if it’s nitride at this point, just make one.
If you aren't representing Jesus in a way that makes people want to hang out with you, you're doing it wrong.

The M16APoor Dissipator.

The B King’s rails are excellent stuff. They mount solid just with the delta ring but also have thicker bolts at each corner as well. Would definitely recommend, and especially at their price.

There's been some discussion recently about Del-Ton and whether or not they have gone out of business, but their site is still up and they are offering their 16" rifle gas uppers for $145!

The barrel is not chrome lined, but mine runs well now that I got the buffer weight dialed in.

It’s a heavy barrel anyway, they probably had to drop it to $145 just to move them.

How about that, their site said nothing about it, I asked someone else (not BKF) and they told me they weren’t CL.

I’ll have to reach out to them for confirmation, but if they are that’s not a terrible price considering.

I decided to celebrate my Independence Day by putting together my .458 Socom Dissipator's dedicated lower.

Show with my 5.56 NATO social work carbine.

The upper is a Tromix barrel and bolt, Bear Creek side-charger upper receiver and bolt carrier, carbine gas under the Magpul handguards, and Daniel Defense rear sight.

Lower is Aero Precision with a lower parts kit from them, too.  Only lost one detent, but had a backup.  Larue straight bow two-stage trigger.  ARFX fixed stock.

I didn't have a trigger guard, so I found a file online and printed one out.  Interference fit for now, but I will fasten it later.

Best,
JBR

OG 1994 AWB goodness.

Yes, a True Dissipator, from Maine Bushmaster, made during the bad old days.  1/9 twist HBAR with carbine gas.  Warts and all.

I walked into the gun store and walked out with a time capsule, unfired, in the case.  They never even mounted the slings.

I don't think I'm even going to thread it.  It's a reminder to never let that bullshit happen again.

I took it out to the range for a test fire. It runs fine on brass case ammo. Cheap steel case crap doesn't have enough oomph to work with the rifle length gas system and buffer.  

No big deal.

Oh, and I realized I forgot something when I got to the range.
