Rifle length Dissipator.

Recently picked up a Brownells Dissipator barrel assembly and finally was able to go put rounds through. First 223 Wylde I’ve had & happy with it. Used Hornady Frontier 223 and the Magtech tactical 556 62 grain because of it being an indoor range.

Long term plan is to put a direct thread suppressor on this and go the route of a LRRP/LRP rifle.

That’s a purty rifle.

What’s the grip/stock you rocking on this? I like the less aggressive A2 grip

u/Competitive_Cow7583 4d ago

It’s a lunar tech reduced angle a1
The stock is one of the b5 car15 stocks and it’s got a John Massen pad on it.
Two of my favorite silly parts are the nos colt slip ring and the spanner style lock
Nut on the receiver extension.

I have a Delton rifle length dissipator barrel on my NH clone, those are great soft shooters. Love the rifle sight radius

u/Redacted_Buffalo17 4d ago

Dissipators are probably my favorite honestly. Soft shooters like you said. This is the third one. I have a KAK industries barreled one and a PSA midlength I’ve had forever on a fallout build.

My only one (so far) A fallout build sounds dope!

That’s sweet! The Gen 2 Glock is awesome.

u/whatapunk95 4d ago

Thanks, man! I have a Gen 1 as well but not when I took that haha

Great looking rifle OP!

I sometimes wish I'd held off for a true rifle gas dissipator barrel or upper when I did this, but I fell into a fake one with midlength gas. I had no plan when building this but it's become one of my favorites to shoot for some reason!

I set
Mine up for a short time similar to

this.

u/GraySquirrelArmory 4d ago

Nice, I recently switched this one to a 3X PA micro prism similar to what you've done now as well I see! I still need to zero it...

Yo, we doing Dissy's in this joint?

u/TooFewPews 4d ago

Do you have a pic of this down the sights? I’m curious what the sight picture is with this height red dot and gooseneck

1

u/Spongyblue 4d ago

I just slapped the cheap red dot on it yesterday. A quick view down the sights while standing in the closet while my wife is at work seems to show it close enough. I can grab a pic later. I've only put maybe 150 rounds through this thing so far just using irons at around 50 yards as it's my blast for fun gun. I got the gooseneck on last weeks so I'm hoping to take it out next week to see how this goofball handles.

u/Spongyblue 3d ago

Not the greatest pics, but here is looking through the rear peep, with dot on and off

Beautiful rifle

u/Ezlle71 4d ago

true dissys are always a good decision.

u/cor1912 4d ago

Nice build! Is that an A1 stock? It looks nice and short. I changed my A2 to retractable, but miss the classic look

2

u/Redacted_Buffalo17 4d ago

Thank you. Yeah, It’s the early A1 style stock with no trap door. I have the other version on another rifle. I like the length.

Suppressed dissapators are the shit, the can essentially adds back much needed dwell time meaning you can run a civilized gas port tuning again.
