Magwa

OK here we go, How I did my Dissipator was I got a Billet lower from Franklin arms it is awesome has built in sling swivel recievers at back of lower and has dimppleing for trigger finger and in front of mag well I highly recomend this lower, After talking to brother 98 I decided to go with a mid lenght gas system, so I bought a blemished lower from PSA in Mid configuration, I then drove the pins out of the FSB and cut it down smoothed it up and painted it with stove paint high temp. then I reinstalled the gas block and gas tube, I used a triangle front grip ring and made a steel rod that would fit in the gas tube hole of my clamp on FSB I left about 1/4 inch sticking out ,I then drilled the rod thru the gas tube roll pin hole and pinned it in place now I can slide on the FSB put the pin in the hole in the for grip plate and everything lines up and stays that way. hope ya like it is works awesome and I love the full lenght sight picture, Thanks Tom for all the great advice and a big thanks to StainTrain for helping me out with a BCG I owe ya one..

Dissy is done.. pics to follow.....

Sorry I do not know the whole story why no meat?

he is spot on..... a bunch of instigators get the media behind them and they want their 15 min of fame!

You bastards.... this place is breaking me now I want a XD-s and so does the MRs. someone stop me ..... :)) :)) :)) ::) >:D >:D >:D <thumbsup>

The Eagle has landed....... thanks USPS you finally got it right.....Thanks BLKSHEEP... you rock

Gotta ask WTF was this person doing ?

Wait stop the presses it is in Idaho.......... and it may be at my house today we will see.......

Yeah since it effects carbine mine will be fine because it will be rifle length sight radius.

That is the point this FSB may not line up right with a A2 that is why I am asking but if I go another way you will get first option... I also have a A2 upper here is some info that explains it ALL GI SPEC CARBINES need an .04 inch higher front sight point. Doesn't have a thing to do with flat top or one piece upper. The Viet Nam era XM177s had an .04 inch higher front sight point. The only difference was that in the early days it was the front blade that was higher, not the base itself. Notice I said GI spec; because the aftermarket has played games w/the sight specs. The rear sight height dimensions on the M16, M16A1, M16A2, and M4s are all exactly the same, so long as the detachable units on the M4s are Colt, or other GI height units. The shorter sight radius of the carbine is what requires the higher point. In the earlier times, it was easier for Colt to simply use a hiigher post to accomadate the need on the relatively few short barrel pieces they were turning out for the Armed Foces, and civie market. When the M4 was adopted as the standard Army weapon someone (Colt? Army Ordnance?) decided that it might get confusing for Army repair shops to have to keep two differnt front sight blades in stock and heve to depend on workers there to decide what to use on what piece, and the F base was created. That way, they only need to keep one height front blade in stock. Up until recently, the bulk of the aftermarket avoided having to use a higher front sight point on their M4 type clones by making the rear sight bases of their clamp on units .04 inch LOWER than Colt and GI spec units. That let them use the standard rifle type front bases, and standard height front posts. Lately. more and more of the aftermarket barrels are coming out with F height bases (not always so marked), but so far as I know, the major aftermarket players like Bushie, DPMS, Stag, etc. sre still using standard bases w/ rifle height blades on their carbines, assuming you'll put one of the aftermarket sight units on your piece. If you do, you'll be fine. but if you mount a Colt or other GI spec unit on such a piece, you're probably going to either have to unscrew the front blade so the half the adjustment wheel is sticking up above the base, or replace the front blade w/a higher unit such as sold by Bushmaster, DPMS, and yes, even Colt. And if you're building a KISS carbine, w/an "old fashioned" one piece A1 type upper, you will certainly need a higher blade even if the Bushmaster catalog doesn't tell you that.

Ok if I have it right a F marked FSB is for a flattop reciever and one not marked with a F is for a regular A1 reciever so I bought a clamp on from armalite for my dissy build the upper is a flattop but the clamp on FSB does not have a F marked on it it has a K1 marked on it so how much off will a non F marked front sight be can I get it sighted in? or am I screwed

What happens In Memphis stays in Memphis geeze..... <dontknow> <dontknow> <dontknow> ???

I thought i knew how to field strip and clean one now I know the error of my thinking I will watch this again till I get it right.. thanks for sharing :banana: :banana: >:D <thumbsup>

Me three no cheaper than dirt ever...

I went with a flat top just because it offers more options I already have the carry handle rear site....

Damn buddy you are on a roll .... lol <outtahere>

Now that is funny lol

Ok I am dying here about to hack out a lung guess what..... It's back in Memphis... LMFAO

all parts ordered and have lower assembled a Franklin billet and it is sweet..... have a PSA upper blemished coming a 16 inch Gov't profile Mid length gas system barrel armalite clamp on FSB full length round handgaurds and some misc. parts just need to get them all here ... hope usps and ups do their part....

beyond my scope of help here I am lucky I have any internet here on the rez it is 3 g or smoke signals here that is the only choice ..good luck at least you have choices
