Is it possible to run an Adams Arms carbine kit on a Dissy upper?  Just in case, it's a 16 in bbl with rifle length handguards but a CAR length gas system. I initially wanted to do this but looking at how the AA kit is set up, I don't think it's possible. Anyone know? Thanks.

It is possible to use our system with that upper but not recommended. It will no longer be able to use rifle length handguards or rails.  Also you'd have a second gas block (i.e. the front sight) that will have to be removed which is not cosmetically pleasing.

That is what I expected to be the case.  Thank you for personally responding to this, I appreciate it. I guess I'll just ditch that option and do an SPR length barrel.

Why is it not recommended?

ETA. What's the difference in a carbine with 16" barrel and a dissy with a 16" barrel with carbine gas setup?
Other than the 2 gas blocks and the aft gas block covered by handguards.
What diff does it make in the way the kit runs?
