I want to build a dissy-type AR to be as light as it can possibly be.

Has anyone made a FSB for dissy-type ARs of aluminum?

Aluminum gas blocks fail.  Avoid.

Do they fail when they are used as gas blocks or do they fail when used as front sights? The OP was asking about a dissipator build, so the front sight is just there as a sight and isn't handling the hot gasses.
