Anyone here own a dissipator upper? Fiancée has a lower in the safe and I got some spare parts to build it. Figured that would be something cool since I don’t have one

I had a couple but I sold them before I got around to shooting them. I had about $900 in the lower by itself on one of them, really should have kept that lower.

Yes, have several. Most have been a pain in my fucking ass. I am working on one that I think might be undergassed. It's also an HBAR, which is also stupid as fuck because its nose heavy. I really want to love it, but I actually fucking hate it and think it's trash. Fucking Del-Ton piece of shit.
I had a PSA that ran fine, but the front sight post was canted. Fucking amazing. I'll take a slight cant over short stroking. Important note is that the PSA dissy uppers are actually midlength gas systems, so they are pretty reliable. It's a mock dissipator and doesn't have a true rifle legnth gas system.
True disipators were short lived. They all struggled with gas issues. Most disipators now are mid or carbine length gas systems with a non-functional (Gas wise) FSB In the rifle length position for that very reason.

That's so badass! I want one but damn the real deal parts are unGodly expensive.
No fucking joke. You could buy multiple Daniel Defense rifles for one original upper. This barrel assembly is is gonna set me back $465 I also am gonna deviate a bit from the true original spec by having the barrel threaded.

I know a guy who sold one earlier this year for something like $1200, he didn't know what it was worth until I showed him. I started to ask him "Why didn't you call me?!?!" since he knows I'm into all that retro stuff but there was no need in asking at that point lol.

I sold 2 sets of vinyl acetate Colt CAR stocks paired with 6 hole handguards earlier this year, both sets sold for over $500. I wanted to keep one set back, but damn $500 is hard to turn down!

You're quick! I realized you actually ARE building one so I deleted that post lmao!
Almost as quick as a DOE.... Fun fact! They were actually too fast to be effective originally! So there designed a special hydraulic buffer to work in conjunction with the recoil spring to slow the rate of fire.
