Bravo Company MFG has been kicking around the idea of making a dissipator for a little while. WEVO Staff was able to get ahold of one, and wanted to get the thoughts of all of you guys out there.

In this case, the BCM Dissy is a using their BCM Midlength gas system on a 16" Cold Hammer Forged (CHF) barrel. In typical BCM fashion, this barrel is proof fired and MPI tested. The F marked front sight base is pinned in place, and the hand guard cap is screwed into the FSB so it can't come loose. The gas block is pinned in place and properly spaced.

The advantages of the rifle length hand guards on a 16" barrel are pretty straight forward. The standard rifle hand guards are plastic, and very light weight. The upcoming Magpul MOE rifle length hand guards are very light weight as well, and they are what I believe most shooters will be interested in using. The MOE hand guards offer a variety of mounting solutions for lights and VFGs. A 2 piece drop in rail is also an easy cure for those people who have a love for extended rails or a need to mount precision devices such as lasers or optics.

The extended space of the hand guards prevent heavy shadowing of the barrel when you are using a light, an important feature when clearing rooms or using a light in real world situations. The extended room also allow for a more forward hand grip when shooting, a method which has become increasingly popular for muzzle control.


My question for everyone is this, do you think this is a concept which Bravo Company MFG should pursue, or do you think they should stick with more traditional models?
