I am building my first AR and am thinking about the dissipator type upper with the 16'' barrel but the longer sight distance. Are they any good? Has anyone had problems with them? And can I get rails and/or different handguards? Also are there any cons to this type of upper?
 
There's no problem with them at all. You get a short barrel but you still have all the handguard and a long sight radius. What's not to love?
 
There is no problem with them, but there is no gain either.

The only thing you get with a dissy is more space on the handguard.

I would only buy a dissy if it were cheaper than every other option I had.
 
the dissipator doesn't have a rifle-length gas, just sights.

i see no value in them personally.
 
i love my dissy, mine has mid-length gas, rifle sights.
the most accurate AR i own,
in fact, its the only one i ever shoot anymore...
that said...
im building a SP-1 ''clone'' 20'' rifle...
love the softer recoil pulse of mid-length and rifle gas systems.
to me the M4's are butt ugly, give me a dissy or a rifle with an A1 stock anyday.
just my .01 cents worth.
