Just ordered a dissy upper from PSA, does anyone know if they fixed the gap on the fsb for the Freedom SS line?

I was *this* close to doing that (actually, I was going to just go flush at the end instead of just taking off the top), but the rifle length rail I have is one of the originals and not one with the Mloks. Since they're kind of rare and not making them anymore, I scrapped that idea.
I may order a new one and do that eventually. ETA: Discussion started here, but the pics got deleted. https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/Dissipator-Picture-Discussion-Thread/118-509821/?page=63#i7141563 |

There are a few other wood furniture outfits operating out there, but each has a different overall style to their products. |

Lots of really great rifles in here. I am planning a dissipator build, myself, just as a fun gun because I like how they look.

Awesome build @DontStepOnSnake
I dig the wood. Took my dissy out to prep for range time today. Doing the 25m BUIS challenge. Hope the wind isn't too retarded. |

No pics and just a receiver and barrel so far here.
Mega Arms matched billet receiver set and a Voodoo 16.5 evo light barrel. Does the 16.5 barrel count as a Dissipator? |

Guys, sorry but no pics yet. I'm working on my first dissipator build, but I have a question. I'm planning on using a carry handle, so I should follow the zeroing procedure for a 16" barrel, not a 20" barrel, correct? The difference is based on the velocity, not sight radius, correct? Thanks, and I hope to have pics soon!

I'm working in yards and yes, the RIBZ method. I don't know velocity yet as it's not yet built let alone to the range to shoot over the chronograph.

Let me know what ammo you'll be shooting and I should be able to get close.

Well, it's my own handload, which I obviously haven't chronographed in this rifle, but my old data showed ~2840fps with a 55gn bullet out of one of my other 16" carbines. Thank you for the help!

View Quote With those numbers, your 200y zero will be 6 clicks below the 300y marking (where the set screw is) and your 100y zero will be 9 clicks below the 300y marking (1 click from the 500y marking). This is for a detachable carry handle, a fixed carry handle will be different so let me know if you have a fixed carry handle. Also, your 400y mark will be 2 clicks too low, your 500y mark will be 4 clicks too low, and your 600y mark will be 7 clicks too low. |
