Before I start buying a bunch of parts that won't work..... Some questions

Has anyone done a build with a magpul handguard? I see on us sites something they call a dissipator which I guess is a low pro gas block under the handguard instead of in the sight post? I want to do 12.5 inch with a2 front and show as little barrel as possible. I.e. Handguard with sight tight to it then muzzle device in a tight little package. Any advice in handguard length/gas system

Moe sl would give me room to move the sight post back I suppose but I'm open to moe mlok also

Will I need to mod the handguard to fit the gas block? Should I look for a barrel/a2 combo then deal with handguard? Or just get my barrel and do a clamp on later


Any advice appreciated doing a cheaper open sight version for this one

Google BCM Kino. It's basically a 12.5 Dissy.

It uses a carbine gas system with the FSB in the middy position. Your biggest issue is going to be that most barrels step down to .740 in front of the gas block so a FSB will have a visible gap. Shouldn't affect anything. Midlength handguards should fit with no issue.
