Seen any Rifle length gas system in stock?

[spqrzilla]

I have been thinking of picking up an AR, and was interested in a rifle length sights and/or gas system on a 16 or 18 inch. Sometimes these are called Dissipators or SPR's if the gas system is rifle length. Have any of you seen a store currently stocking any models like that? Or will I have to order it as a kit?

Been a while since I have seen one for sale complete. Might have better luck putting one together.

Nordic has them on sale. Wilson barrels and Wilde chambers.

Nordic, Hoser?

The Nordic Competition barrel, is a 18" .223 Wylde barrel that I designed. It is what I use in our custom and stocked builds. We also stock the Nordic 16" which is mid-length.

We have several flavors in stock or we can build one to your specs. Even better, bring in what you have and we will help you complete your own upper.

Nordic, Hoser?

please say it with enthusiasm: "Nordic, HOSER!!"

on topic: I'll give a huge +1 for the recommendations of Nordic and MarkCO.

Ah, I didn't realize that Hoser was refering to Carbon Arms. Thanks guys.

Rainier Arms offers one as well, I built one off of it and it shoots well, but honestly, I think I'd go with MarkCo's unit instead at this point. I like to support the local guy when I can, and I didn't know about his until after I built this one. I've got a couple barrels made with Shilen blanks, both select match blanks, and both this one and the other one I have copper foul badly. I don't know if it's just that I got 2 that are anomalies or if it's a pattern but I don't think I'll be buying another.

PSA has the "Fuax Dissapator" complete upper on and off. It is a mid length gas system with rifle length handgaurds and rifle length sight radius.
I have read that true dissapators have issues in reliability. Something to do with the gas port in the barrel being too close to the muzzle on a 16" barrel.

I had heard that too. Couldn't verify it but didn't want to take any chances on reliability so the one I posted pictures of was built from a standard, 16" mid-gas barrel. Our good buddy Bert did the work on the barrel for me.
