A dissipator is a carbine or mid-length (preferred) gas system with the distance between the barrel nut and the FSB being rifle length. There is a low pro gas block under the handguards. There is another version similar to this called a Kino, which is a carbine gas system with the distance between the barrel nut and the FSB is mid-length on A 14.5” (or shorter - like 12.5”) barrel. That would never work due to dwell time issues.

Only if you dry fire correctly. You could be reinforcing bad habits.

Q makes awesome stuff. I’f love to Have one of their Honey Badgers with the integral suppressor. I wonder if they would make a Pistol Braced Honeybadger with a forward vert grip and an appropriate length barrel to make it a NJ SBF.....

In all fairness, I heard that Tex May have been preoccupied on more than one level.

Maybe. Could be a lot of things: • Grip • Trigger control • Anticipation • Looking over the sights

What kind of gun? What distance?

Tex, I’m not discounting iron sights. I just believe that shooting with irons is a more complex skill than shooting with a RDS. Back in the day, when all you had was irons or a magnified “scope”. Irons made sense. Now, with the abundance of quality RDS that are affordable and reliable, it doesn’t make sense to waste ammo learning irons first. Increase the learning curve with a RDS, then move to irons. Less time = less ammo = less money In my experience with new shooters, it’s easier to teach Red Dots first to learn the fundamentals, then teach irons once body mechanics, trigger press, recoil control, trigger press, and the practical aspects of the theory of ballistics is wired pretty tight. Less frustration, because with the red dot, you can isolate problems and work on them to the exclusion of others things - dot on target, press rigger straight to rear without disturbing sights. Call your shot. Observe your hit. Make corrections. With irons, there are too many things at play. You try and fix one thing, and 5 more issues pop up.I just got my slide back from DP Customs. I am very pleased with their work. Bully, what do you charge to mill the barrel flush to the slide?A Fauxland Special! Nice!Correct. The barrel has straight rifling so it isn’t a rifle or a shotgun. In April of this year (2019) Franklin Armory started taking orders for NJ residents. I didn’t hear that their certification was denied until this thread.The Reformation series of guns are not SBRs.I’m afraid you misunderstand what I mean when I said the Strike Eagle was “A little much for a brand new shooter”. I was not referring to price being a bit much. I was referring to the actual optic being a bit much - with its parallax, eye relief/eyebox requirements, the busy reticle, and the magnification. As a new shooter, you will be much better served shooting with a plain RDS. It will let you concentrate on the fundamentals - sights and trigger - without getting distracted by unnecessary bells and whistles that won’t help you.I have a 1-6 Strike Eagle. It’s OK. A little much for a brand new shooter. For a self described “noob”, I would recommend a standard red dot sight (RDS). With your price range around $400 I would suggest either an Aimpoint PRO or a Trijicon MRO - whichever one gives you a cleaner dot. They are the current standard for affordable red dot sights. If you want to spend less, but still have a quality optic, I recommend one of the Holosun optics that look like an Aimpoint T1 or T2 such as the HS503R.Tell us a little more about the rifle. Is this your only rifle? What do you want this rifle to do? Range toy? Competition rifle? Home defense?I wouldn’t buy one - not my thing. I thought they stopped making the Bushmaster car-bons that you could turn into a NJ Legal pistol. The Car Bon carbines I had experience with were pretty unreliable back in the day. I have no experience with the pistol conversions though. Anyway, I’m just glad another company didn’t abandon NJ and still make an option for those who think this will scratch an itch. It’s always good to have options. I listed my A-answer alternatives above to an AR Pistol in NJ.Sweet! I thought they stopped making them.One option to get what you may be looking for (and use a permit) is a Sig 320 trigger pack (which you will need the permit to buy as the trigger is the serialized firearm) and a slide, a barrel, and put it into a Fire Control Unit X01PDW.IMO a NJ Legal AR pistol is not worth it. Can’t have handguards, has to be under 50oz. There is o my one company that I know of that makes one and that is Extar, and I think they aren’t around anymore or don’t make the NJ legal version if I remember correctly. The next best thing/closest thing to what you see other states have as an AR pistol is an SBF Firearm, which is totally legal in NJ, and you don’t need a pistol permit for.Recoil impulse is straight back to the shoulder through the receiver extension. Without that, recoil would pivot at the wrist as the grip and stock would be below the bore, causing the barrel to tip up under recoil.Looks like a prop from “Planet of the Apes”....MM has contracted with the supplier of their barrel, Ballistic Advantage, for a non standard length barrel (I think it’s 11.75”). This facilitates the ability to have a non pinned muzzle device with their selected pistol brace extension and still make the OAL required by the ATF to categorize the SBF as a “firearm” and not an AOW.They will absolutely be visible through the Romeo with a lower 1/3 cowitness. Standard BUIS is typically preferred as there is no change to offsets or holdovers as you no longer need to cant the rifle. Offset sights are a compromise solution so you can have a backup sighting system on a carbine that doesn’t typically allow for standard iron sights. Having your BUIS at the 12 o’clock position is the optimal choice. As always YMMV and all that apply here.Nice. I love the color. I’m curious. Why get offset irons? Why not regular back up iron sights (BUIS)? Offsets are a great option if using an optic that precludes you from flipping standard sights up - like a LPVO or other magnified optic. But on the setup in your photo, with a RDS, a set of standard BUIS are faster to deploy and simpler to use IMO.
