I'm kinda overwhelmed with the different ideas for the AR rifle, what's the draw on making a Dissy clone? Are there real positives to a dissy over a carbine/SBR/ CCR?

If you know you're going to be using irons anyway, the typical 16" set up gives you rifle length sight radius with a slightly handier barrel size instead of a 14.5" barrel and carbine sight radius that the M4gerys have. The old school way of doing it is with rifle gas, but I prefer mid length gas set ups on dissipators. And they do look cool.

To the PSA dissipator owners, is there a gap between the FSB and the barrel? I have read reviews that the PSA dissipators used a .750 FSB and a .735 barrel where the two meet leaving a small gap. Are these latest uppers still assembled this way?

Are these latest uppers still assembled this way? I haven't heard of this. Mine is a CHF FN barrel they were putting out several years ago. In my case the FSB appears to be the correct size for the barrel, but I haven't seen them offer the CHF dissies in a while. Somebody else will have to chime in regarding the Premium or Freedom line of dissies. |

I'm glad that I missed these were on sale. I've been wanting one for a while, and the FN barrel would have made the decision for me (IIRC, the last few PSA Dissy uppers on sale were not the CHF barrels).
Didn't need to spend the money on this right now. Maybe they'll repeat the sale in the latter part of the year. |

You can not just cut down a 20" barrel to make a dissapator with a midlength gas system. There is no place to put the mid length gas block for one and if you tried to use the rifle length gas system with the barrel cut to 16" then you get unreliable operation. meant to add you need to open the gas port, lots or people have done it in the retro section. thats also the way Colt did it. |

They did not work for shit and were very unreliable due to the lack of dwell time with the gas port being so close to the muzzle. This is the reason Colt dropped them and pretty much why every one uses a mid length gas system. I had Colt one back in the early 90s and it was erratic and very ammo sensitive. I loved the concept but did not trust it so I sold it off. Whent he mid length came out I jumped on one. |

The smallest ID gas block is .625" the pencil barrel profile is usually .6" or less so unless some one makes a custom sleeve to go inside the FS and turns down the front of the barrel to less than the diameter of the sleeve then its a no go. You do not have much extra material left in the barrel wall once it is a pencil barrel. You would have to silver solder the sleev in and have some weird set taper pins to get it mounted on top of that unless you used set screws which I do not trust. Clamp on FS would have the same issues. |
