So since I got my barrels I have had to repair the truck, start painting the house (outside), and had a new baby, plus a work/play vacation. But I found a few min to get to the shop the other night and work on some ar and reloading stuff.
I threw a few uppers in the mill and opened up the ejection ports.
Installed the 458 socom dust covers...
And for the rifle I went with a magpul rifle grip in grey.
Big bolt face on a 458 socom, and I used an ACME machine charging handle for both uppers.
Since the dissipator style upper I'm building has a carbine length gas system I'm using a standard f-marked front sight assembly, and I threaded the gas port with a 10-32 tap and screwed the front grip retension plate to the sight assembly...
I am tapping the pin holes for set screws to hold the sight assembly to the barrel, since the barrel is so thin using pins probably would compromise the integrity of the barrel. It should have 5 set screws once I go get some more at the hardware store, for now using some scope ring screws.
So here is the dissipator rifle mostly complete, need to get a few set screws and a carry handle sight for the rear, but it'll shoot like this. My wife really likes it and can see why I wanted one. It is very cool.
And here is the pistol... I am using an OdinWorks adjustable gas block so I can run the same ammo in the pistol and rifle. I plan to use a Fortis Rev2 carbine forend, but I am shopping for a deal. This one is ready to shoot as is though. It is very light and should be a bit of a handful with the pistol grip on this. I will be upgrading but don't know what I want to use yet...
