blue builds a dissy.

jrtMA · August 10, 2013

They're interesting. I had never even heard of them before. I would drive myself crazy if I started another different build though. I'll have to just sit this one out and admire the pics.

Brother blue that turned out so nice you have given me the itch. ^-^

Very nice blue!

Going to the range at 8am...if you want to drive out to Marana.

Damn Jon...I'd like to but im on daddy duty. I honestly bought this barrel to slap a rifle together to sell. Turned into another keeper.

I've just gotten to the point where the lie I tell myself is "I'd probably better get one of those also...you know, so I can supply arms to friends and neighbors in the revolution. See? We NEED another safe, Honey!"

:bat: <<<< Honey

Yea...I know that face. I have everything but a barrel to build another AR. I got that face when I saw a great deal on barrels yesterday and suggested I get one so I can build the last rifle and sell it. "that's what you said about this one...."

I guess we have two catagories of dissy's the old school and the new school I just like them all well done....

So...brownells seems to have hired doc brown in the shipping department, or possibly just rebranded the flux capacitor. Got my short brake today. Its.......short. Not sure if im feeling it. It doesn't quite butt up against the shoulder. I can chop it a little, or add a shim I suppose.

That small gap is kind of appealling to the eye.

Locktite it in place!

blue109 · September 22, 2013

Its pretty darn tight. Doubt its going anywhere. im interested to see if it actually compensates at all. I plan to compare it to a mickulec and a A2 when I get it out to the range.

How did she turn out with the short brake? Also...what buffer are you running? I'm thinking of doing one of these for a buddy I owe some parts to.

blue109 · December 2, 2013

For some reason I just didn't like the way that comp looked. Never fired it. Sold it to a buddy and just have a birdcage on there for now. Probably stick a vortex or aac FH on there at some point. Just using standard buffers in all my guns. Havnt found any reason to replace them yet.

One thing about that comp...it wouldn't flush up to the shoulder of the barrel. Either had to use a shim, a crush washer, or deal with the gap. I think any .75OD muzzle device should be able to close the gap.

DNP · December 2, 2013

Right on. Thank you for the answers.

DNP · February 2, 2014

Took my buddy's out for the first time today. Wanted to give it a good shakedown. I built this for him as payment for a cage he built on my Yamaha Rhino.

Long story short...she don't like tulammo at ALL. Couldn't pick up a second round at all. Occasional failure to eject even.

Running xm855 she did a lot better. Had her actually making it all the way through 10 round mags up until the end. Last mag of the day she would eat a couple and then hang up with a live one half jammed into the chamber. Probably put 150 through her. Got rid of the steel stuff. Going to clean her up and take her out again. Delton 16" dissy barrel, standard car buffer/spring. With the 855 she would lock back on empty 85% of the time. She might just need a little more breaking in, but any thoughts on things to try for the next trip?

blue109 · February 3, 2014

Mine runs flawless and smooth as butter on brass. I tried it with herters steel that day at the range. The first shot stuck in the chamber and I had to morter it out. Pulled the mag and burnt in in the SPR instead.

The dissy I built for my father and law has no problem with steel and I used the same barrel. Might try to polish chamber up in mine to see if it helps.

Magwa · February 8, 2014

My pal,metto barrel loves it all it is a midlenght system no problems at all...

unforgiven · February 8, 2014

PSA has great products and prices. <thumbsup>

DNP · February 8, 2014

Yeah, this one is rifle gas. We will shake out the issue with it.

blue109 · February 11, 2014

Been wanting to put my A1 stock on the dissy for a while. Shoots super soft as is, so why not make it softer Amitie! I needed an extension, so I just took a shot and tossed a request up on Facebook. In about 5 min, one of my wives old Co workers messages me and said he had an old bushy A2 setup complete I could have for free ninety free. I go over to his house, and guess what it came off of? OG baby!

REAL Dissipator!!! :hail:

Brother, gas port size. Check that thing, next chance you get to see him and get it to the range.

Single round in the mag, lock back test. Varying ammo. Report results.

I'm thinking the gas port needs some drilling out - and he's got the tools to measure it, and drill it. No kidding, that's it.

DNP · February 13, 2014

Right on. Yeah, we gave her the one round test. The steel cases would not lock back. My brass would when the gun was well lubed. Hell, she made it through a couple 10 round mags and even locked back at the end of them, but that was only right after applying more lube. The steel...sometimes wouldn't even extract. And every time would not pick up the next round. I will have to get him to check the gas port. GB is pinned, so that will make it more fun. I will start a new thread next time we take it out.

98Z5V · February 13, 2014

I ran some Herters steel case .223 Rem. Once. That $hit was so weak it wouldn't even cycle a perfectly functional rifle. I think I saw it cheap, grabbed a hundred rounds (in 20-rd boxes). When the rifle wouldn't get through a single box, I gave the rest of it away.

If it was Herters you guys were shooting, I wouldn't doubt the results.

I still suspect the gas port size - that's some tricky $hit on a real Dissipator, man. It's gotta be spot-on to run those guns all the time. I honestly think it's to small. Drill up in one-step increments (what a PITA with a pinned gas block). You gotta drill, get out and shoot and test, fail possibly, go home, drill again once more, get out and shoo.... Aaaah, you get it.

I do have a range I found closer to my house. Road trip with suspected firearm, tools go to the range, work performed on-site...

I'm just sayin'... <dontknow>

blue109 · February 13, 2014

I grabbed a few boxes of herters because it was about $4/box. Garbage. My larger likes the 9mm just fine though.

like I said, I tried one round and it got stuck. Mortered it out, and didn't try again. I know my father in laws gun runs on wolf with the same barrel.
