I don't claim to be an expert at anything and feel free to dissagree but I have several AR's, most from Bravo Company but one Colt and 2 PSA cheap bargian guns. What makes a top quality gun is the bolt carrier group and barrell mainly. My PSA's have mil-spec BCG's and 4150 CMV CHF FN barrels. Feel free to insult me but I'm just as happy with my PSA guns as any of the top dollar guns. I do not view PSA as low quality guns but guns that have not had their prices jacked up for maximum profits. I built a 16" midlength with 4150 CMV CHF FN barrel, mil spec BGC and improved trigger for $385 during one of their specials. This was roughly 1/3 of the price as other "high end" AR's and it shoots just as accurate with no malfunctions.

My view exactly. I have many high end ARs and now several PSA ARs with the FN CHF barrel. Great guns for a bargain. The only things I felt I had to change were the buffers and buffer springs. Couldn’t be happier.

I love my PSA dissipator i got it back during the 4rth of July sale it turned out to be the perfect retro rifle for me and i have personalized it all the way from stem to stern to fit me just the way i want it thank you PSA for this awesome gun !!

I love my PSA dissipator, it was my first upper. I got mine back when they had the "freedom" line, the premium line which had a non CHF barrel made by FN (which is what I have) and the FN CHF version. I'm in the process of free floating it while keeping the front sight base. I'm just waiting for a sale on a Midwest Industries 12.625 inch Combat or G4 rail.

I ended up finding an 12.625" MI G4 rail for a steal and it ended up looking AWESOME! I'm really happy with the way it turned out and it was far more simple than notching a 16 inch and trying to hammer the taper pins in through the handguard, which I probably would have botched terribly.

Mortal enemy to guy named "Gee-ON"

i built a dissipator last summer with a brownells a1 handgaurd and an a2 stock def has that nam look i love it

Would love to get a 20” pencil barrel version with the bayonet lug, and the fixed rifle stock. Saw one on PSA for 1,100 great prices for their clone builds, would be nice to have the disposable income for stuff like that.

I have like the dissipator setup since the late 60s

Love the long sight radius for using iron sights. Only makes sense for iron sights though. Another variation is the Kino configuration; a 12.5" barrel SBR with a carbine gas block and a mid length sight tower.

I threw the magpul handguard on mine with a surefire warcomp and I love it. I it just works and is simple. I threw the daniel defense fixed sight on the back and run a red dot and it has been great. for the price you can't beat this upper.

Digging that Lethal Weapons Texas footage ❤ Just snagged one of these for Black Friday!

I use this upper on a lower with an A2 rifle stock and buffer tube assembly. It shoots really flat, almost like a 20in M16.

Haven't shot mine yet, hopefully it works well especially with my last 3 guns from PSA having issues they have yet to fix. So frustrating, everything I bought 4 years ago from them have been unbelievably good.

Great video

Just got mine in the mail, looks great, only thing I noticed right away was the slop when mounted on a lower compared to other uppers, other wise seems like a decent upper for $220

Pair it with a lower that has the tension screw or use a accuwedge. I'd suggest a STANDARD Manufacturing or a Firebird Precision.

Looks nice bro.....cool

I have two of these uppers from Palmetto. One has the ras hand guards and broomstick. The other I transferred the barrel assembly to an a2 upper. The lower has an a1 stock.

Very cool video.

Still have my pre-ban original Bushmaster Dissipator. It's a great idea

Does anyone know if the barrel is at least dimpled for that low profile gas block? I wouldn’t want the gas block under the handguard to come loose.

I was looking to throw this on my Anderson lower potentially as my second ar. Wanted to have something bare bones but still fun to have. I’m debating however, on buying this upper or the one Anderson makes (Anderson dissipator upper is out of stock atm)

Thanks for the review. I've read/heard that some of these are suffering from overgassing and canted front sights because they aren't the gas blocks that require more attention to alignment. PSA will fix them, but just something I've heard mentioned more than once. I noticed yours seemed overgassed in some of your shooting footage.

@davidheun2256

I have noticed using my Midwest indexing rod, that the canted sight upper, also suffers from a indexing problem. Leads me to believe the barrel index pin may have a misalignment.

I love my old Oly arms K7 Eliminator in x39.

Longer sight radius isn't a perceived accuracy thing, it's proven science.

What BCG is that? How do you like it? That gold look is beautiful

Nice!

Delton makes a A2 Upper with 20" barrel in a 1/9 twist(for using 55gr with better accuracy) and they offer it in a govt and heavy profile barrel Also you can use a Magpul rifle length handguard to add some Mlok slots on a 2 piece upper for $40 Add an A2 stock and a Magpul grip and you've got cleaning kit storage and oil or battery compartment in the pistol grip Which is awesome if you want a rifle for the range or for a situation where you forget your cleaning kit Just my 2cents Also Anderson had a true dissipator with A2 stock and 16" barrel that's rifle length for $500-550 instead of a faux dissipator If you want the real deal or the bomb proof front sight block that's actually attached to the gas system

Nice clean looking dissipator i always liked the carry handle its like ya gotta have at least 1 AR with a carry handle.

What's the name of the song at the end?

Oh and FYI you're not bringing the site out further you're putting it back where it belongs where it was originally designed

Originally, they had to tune the dissipator by widening the gas port before they invented the mid length gas system.

What the update??? Thanks. Nice review.

PSA dissipator is eh for me. I went with the Delton Dissipator that is a true rifle gas system on a 16" barrel. It had the A2 grips and flat top upper. I replaced the upper with PSA's M16A2 upper and the handguards with the PSA m16a1 triangle handguards. It's one of my favorite rifles. I use the car-15 stock. I love it. Thinking of doing a mini me build now with a 12.5 upper with a midlenght gas system. Would go great with my Mk18 Mod 0 build. Makes me think of the meme that says "Don't talk to me, my son or my son's son"

These things haven't changed as much as the nerds think. It's a barrel, with a metal tube on top that taps the gas, sends it back, a simple cam action, and spring. Stocks and grips didn't turn it into some Judge Dredd Plasma Rifle in 40 Watt Range. It's the same 1950s design with coatings, stocks, grips, better steels and rifling. The nerds have too much time to nerd out on gear instead of shooting and getting more advanced training.

No. That is not a true dissipator. That is a mid length rifle upper with a FSB stuck at the end of the hand guard.

@markwhite6782

Жыл бұрын

"Overgassed?" A rifle length gas tube on a 16 inch barrel would have 1/2 the dwell time as a 20" barrel and hence, would be undergassed. This was the problem on the first dissipators so they had to bore larger holes in the FSB to allow more gasses to come back. Its not the ratio of gas tube length vs barrel length rather the difference in distance from the FSB to the end of the barrel to calculate dwell time. This is why the 10.3" barrels on AR's have to have a huge gas port because it's literally an inch from the FSB to the end of the barrel.
