   I like all of them.

     @GabeLakmann Also the first one is a dissipator and dissipators are a vibe you can’t change my mind.

     Dissipators look cool and I used to want one but most of them have a gas block behind the fake FSP due to dwell time.
     
     They still look cool though and I think they'd look cooler with an OG handguard or a pic rail instead of the magpul hand guard.

     First pic needs a free float rail and the middle one on the second pic need a better flashlight. Other than that they're not too bad.

     @GabeLakmann @Royper Probably a better system unless they really figured out the gas systems. I tried dissipators 2x…both had issues cycling a wide variety of ammo.

     Call me crazy but I want a gun that can run any flavor of shit I feed it, I have no patience for some fancy boy piece that needs premium gas all the time. Don’t want my descendants running around the wasteland asking for Gold Dot in order to survive

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @GabeLakmann By chance do you know if the ones you were using were 80s or 90s built guns? Supposedly the ones made in 2010s and later are *fine*

     @Royper @GabeLakmann Mine were from the changeover, most likely. 1st was parts gun, made around 2010 or so, second was ~2015? Got the latter in trade, but was some boutique cool guy brand. Traded it with $200 for a 1903 not long after, though.

     I assume they’ve got it all figured out today, now that they’re all cool and popular. I was always a little ahead of the vintage curve, when everyone else was looking for KAC rails and Mk-12 clones I was looking for Vietnam-era colts for cheap. For a while disspators were a footnote

     The ones made in the 2010s and later either have a fake FSP and the carbine length/mid length hidden under the handguard or a special barrel.
     
     I'd guarantee it was an early one if it had problems. The newer ones aren't "real" dissipators and they run fine.
