I have almost completed the mock Dissipator that I have been wanting for quite a while. The purpose is just a simple irons site rifle that will be a KISS rifle and also serve as an “irons” rifle in competition. I wanted a pinned FSB due to the robustness of it. The largest hurdle building this rifle was finding a mid length barrel with a properly pinned FSB at the rifle location. Adco took care of this for a not so modest price. However, I am very happy with the Adco barrel and workmanship.
I may get a Daniel Defense fixed rear sight to replace the YHM folder. I may switch the ACSL stock for a CTR(Magpul).
I love how you did the mock dissipator set up. I always thought the reliability of an actual dissipator was questionable. I like how you made that work out. Good job.
Would have cost me another $55 to pin the GB. I can do that my self (I’m a machinist). I ended up dimpling the barrel for set screws myself. I may pin the barrel when I get around to it.
i have mocked up my mock dissipator,
but still need a bcg and stripped u.r.
lot of firsts for me in this one,
first magpul furniture, first dissipator, first nitride barrel, etc.
i just paid for my first pmags a few months ago.
i got a regular pmag, window pmag, and lancer for free at a work event about five years ago, scoffed, and never took them seriously. i have let time tell and opinions to form on facts, and think magpul is pretty solid.
You weren’t kidding about the “not so modest” thing…
But, beauty costs money I suppose. Thanks for the pics. I have been trying to decide on a mock dissy or just plain Jane middy hand guards for my next build.
