I take it that's a dissipator upper?

yes. but now the people over at ar15.com are telling me its no longer a dissipator.
I don't care though. i think it's a good looking rifle.
look closely you will find the "come and take it" flag!

Why, 'cause of the shorter free-float handguard?
Eh, call it what you want...

Yes because the shorter rail.

A dissipator upper allows for a rifle length sight radius on a carbine length barrel.
To accomplish this, a carbine length gas system is hidden under a full, rifle length handguard which typically terminates into a non-functioning A2 style gasblock front sight post. This allows for adequate dwell time before the projectile leaves the barrel since a full rifle length gas system on a carbine length barrel would not produce enough back pressure to cycle the action.
In any case, I think that is a fine rifle you put together @Awastatyme . Enjoy it...

Yea lets just leave it at that. Your always gonna have those types that think if it isn't exactly configured a certain way or have a specific rollmark that they think is top tier then everything else must be utter crap. That just means more good deals for the rest of us. Personally I like your choice of a shorter handguard. Unless you intend to populate all that rail space with widgets why have so much?

You see this on all kinds of boards...except here!
Like JohnA said:"Long as you're happy with it is all that matters. It's your gun"

I would have been slammed Just mentioning I bought a UTG quad rail on arf.com! That's why I dont hang out there
Anyone seen this ? http://www.aresdefense.com/?page_id=729
Stumbled on this checking out .308 versions. The variant in rifle collection is a mere M and P 15 sport i stumbled on for $600.00

Where are they hiding the buffer tube?
Must be like a system in a semi auto shotgun. anyway, is a interesting concept for a 50 state legal mag fed rifle.
Yup.
There's a spur at the rear of the bolt carrier that directs energy downward into an angled tube, very similar to the buffer system on the 930...
Does this make the system less reliable in any way. How does this effect the recoil of the rifle ? Just asking questions out loud.
I wouldn't think so.
These type of buffer systems don't have any outstanding reliability issues that I am aware of. Not sure about any reduction in felt recoil. Not really much to reduce with .223/5.56 and 7.62x39 is reasonably tame to begin with as well...

I presume this is only available online for the time being. Its an interesting rifle. I may have to look into one.
Not sure, have only read about this rifle when i was on the hunt for a AR variant with more boom then my m and p 15.
