I don't know much about dissy's, never having owned one, but I'm considering one.
Here is the situation... I currently have an orphaned complete CMMG upper in an A2 configuration - carry handle upper, 20" barrel, rifle gas system, FSB, round handguards (no free float). I'm probably going to build a lower with a collapsible stock to mate with it, and use it as a training rifle for my son. Left over from various mods on other guns, I actually have all the lower parts laying around except the striped lower itself and the carbine buffer tube & related. So where the dissy comes in, I think it would be handier, less front-heavy, for the kid. I don't want to spring for another barrel, plus the upper has what CMMG described as "extended and polished feed ramps", which basically translates into pseudo-M4 feed ramps cut into a rifle barrel extension & upper, so I'm not sure swapping in a new barrel wouldn't require a new striped upper as well - so I'm staying with the barrel I have. However, I could send the existing barrel to ADCO to be cut down to 16" and the gas port opened up, without spending a fortune. So, for the dissy fans out there - what do you think? What weight buffer would I need to make it run reliably with a standard carbine buffer spring and whatever ADCO would do with the gas port? |
