With the death of braces and a general reluctance to SBR, I predict we might see a renaissance of interest in the dissy!

So, I’ve got a dissipator and have been thinking about an upgrade, so I emailed Midwest the other day to see about their rifle length quad rail or m-lok drop in rail and the inner diameter, and they replied that they wouldn’t clear a carbine low pro gas block.
Is anybody running one or has gotten one clear and fit? I’d really like to roll with this but don’t want to pay to play a game that I don’t stand a chance with. |

Hello from Indiana. This my first post. I have been a lurker here for a few years and finally decided to join. I recently finished a Dissipator build and have put about 85 rounds through it so far. It had a few hiccups at the start, but seems to be breaking in nicely now.

Looking for some parts and some info.
Scrolled through the first 10 pages followed by the most recent 15 or so. Interested in doing a mock dissy or whatever everyone is calling the midlength gas block with pinned fsb at rifle length. Looking for a 1:9 midlength, doesnt seem anyone makes these anymore, anyone have an idea/recommendation? I have a bunch of extra left over piston parts, can a superlative or adams micro piston kit be ran under a kac m5 ras? Lastly, good sources for a1/a2 stock kit? Thanks for any info! |

I recently scored a Colt C7 upper with the large hole front pivot pin. Ordered a bushing to fix that. I also got a LM marked true A1 upper.
I'm planning on using the LM with a old NIB SENDRA lower I picked up last year. I need to find a pencil weight Dissipator barrel to go with them. I might cannibalize the Adams Arms ultra lightweight barrel I had the A frame added to. |

Been wanting to add a dissy to the inventory, picked up an upper with midlength gas from PSA.
The lower it's destined for is sitting in citristrip currently, so put it on another for now. Have not shot yet, but FSB is straight. Swapped out the newer-style handguards for the older thinner ones I had laying around. Really liking how handy it is and the sight radius.

Damn this thread!! Ordered a PSA Dissy upper today for $199 with free shipping. I know it's not "clone correct" but I don't care. It's kind of a spare parts rifle. I'm excited to get it. Should be a fun build and shoot.
Thanks for helping me spend more money yet again ARFCOM!! I'll get pics up when it's done if the PSA uppers are acceptable in here. |
