After thinking about building another AR for the last year I finally jumped into it with both feet when this assault gun ban talk started. Honestly the M&P lower was not my first choice, but beggars can't be choosers in this market. I know from past Smith & Wesson experience that this would be a solid platform to build from.
I will put together a parts list and edit this first post as I pick things up. Detail pics of how I put this together will be in this post.
Not sure how many of you are familiar with a Dissipator, but I will give a quick run down. The advantages of a true dissipator are the rifle length irons on a carbine (16") barrel, and the lighter recoiling of using a rifle length gas system. Some companies out there make a faux dissipator that hides a carbine or middy gas block and that helps with the cycling reliability that can be an issue with the rifle length gas, but negates the low recoil.
Most modern rifle length dissipators have an enlarged gas port. Many also use a heavier buffer as well.
Parts List
M&P15 stripped lower receiver
Delton Dissipator upper complete
MFT Battlelink Utility Stock
Magpul MOE Rifle length handguard
Magpul Gen 2 MBUS Rear Flip Sight
Spikes Tactical ST-T2 Buffer
Tapco Intrafuse AR End Plate
MagPul MOE Plus Pistol Grip
DPMS Lower Receiver Parts Kit
KNS Hammer and Trigger Pin Non Rotating Kit
J P Enterprises - Reduced Power Spring Kit
Magpul Enhanced Aluminum Trigger Guard
Magpul MOE Vertical Grip
Still a few more parts to figure out, but this is the bulk of the items. Everything on order and should be in shortly. Upper Assembly shows back ordered at MidwayUSA until 1/29/13.
Please feel free to chime in with any comments or advise. This is my first build of an AR, my last one was a DMPS that I added a bunch of stuff to over time. I am pretty familiar with building and modifying 1911's and Target pistols, along with 10/22's.
