"Speak softly and carry a big KAK." - No one

KAK are some real ones for that. This is an awesome concept that you definitely came up with all by yourself! Way to go!

I think this is the future. Guns made to run well suppressed and perhaps barely run with the suppressor removed if it somehow gets damaged.

Ive been running a similar aetup for 1.5 years. Adjustable gas block but haven't adjusted since the initial tuning. Faxon 11.5 mid, superlative AGB, standard bcg, BCM versions of the vltor A5 running a5h2 buffer weight, runs a dead air nomad almost full time. I'm almost surprised by how well it works. It's been reliable, accurate, and consistent, and softer shooting than my friends SOLGWs. With red dot and magnifier I've gotten consistent hits at 440yards on reduced c zone steel.

My favorite DI build ever was an 11.5 muddy from Faxon. Sold it to a friend when I went to long piston. But it was perfect, ran great unsuppresssed for me too.

My KAK 16 inch with rifle length is the sweetest shooter I ve been around.

That flast suppressor is crusty as hell...I love it. KAK kicks ass.

I was actually really hoping something like this would hit the market. I’m glad I have a place to buy it now

This is the future of suppressed ARs, you get all the benefits without the draw backs. Great job

I would keep this as a dedicated 11.5 night fighting upper. The Can just lives on it

I think this style will be the future for people who want shorter suppressed builds. If it can be "flushed out" it will turn into a standard much like how mid-length systems are for 16" guns.

The algorithm requires engagement

11.5 mid tuned for suppressor only is the bees knees. I have that Noveske setup and it's so smooth.

That black ops two music goes hard

Kak is awesome I ordered a 9mm buffer from them and usps lost my package and they sent me another one no questions asked . They have amazing customer service

The fact Kak even made this is impressive, add on the black ops lobby music and you got me.

I like it. .078 to .081 seems like a fair place to end up on this type of barrel if it is intended to be suppressed only using traditional baffles like you said. For me, the reason for middy is about attaining more bolt life, longer receiver life, and lower port pop but still being able to use lower back pressure cans, hybrid designs etc. Lower back pressure cans, regardless of the system they are added to, provide less delta between suppressed and unsuppressed usage, meaning they need less drastic measures to make them function effectively. The less adjustment needed, the wider your potential operating envelope becomes. That lands me the camp of wanting to use a system like this but still in conjunction of a lower back pressure can. That may warrant a slightly larger port size than this. Also, I'd be very curious to see how well it would run unsuppressed with a .08-.09 port with a confirmed efficient carrier and no gas key leaks (moreso as a safety net than to be considered 100% reliable). With the testing I've done, fixing gas leaks significantly changes ejection angle and ejection authority. This suggests potentially a sizable increase in reliability from short dwell time systems that are often considered to be finicky and unreliable if mitigation is applied to the leaks. I attest much of the finicky unreliableness of these systems can be attributed to inefficient carriers with leaky gas keys. Most carriers on the market at this point are subpar in some department. I.E. - both of my BCM carriers have leaky gas keys and my friends BCM carrier even had a hugely oversized bolt tail seal. Luckily the rest of his system was sealed well enough that it ran fine but was ejecting more around the 4-4:30 area (16" mid, H1 I think).

This would be great for a dedicated 11.5 suppressed rifle. Great video!!!

I genuinely love seeing projects like this. Will I ever get one? Probably not. Is it cool? Absolutely!

My RC2 would love this.

To shoot both suppressed and super sonic rounds, a carbine length gas system is perfect in any barrel length between 11.5 and 13 inches. Good video and even better explanation. Thank you for your honesty.

🇺🇸

Why do you KZfaqrs constantly drop your magazine to see what is there just to insert it back into the rifle.

Pretty cool to get an oddball request like this barrel made at your request! I'd be interested in one.

Getting that Big KAK Energy flowing.

KAK always makes creative and innovative products

Great video sir ! Always good content here!!!

Flexing his vast amount of pull with this one

Had a similar idea years ago I personally would still go for a 12.5 mid instead, for "guaranteed" unsuppressed usage

11.5 ba modern series carbine. With brt ez tune .55 gas tube size. For dedicated suppressor use.

I Just ordered one of the full KAK uppers with this 11.5 barrel. Hoping it runs great with my polonium and Rex can.

If you haven’t yet, you may also check out the alpine research 11.5 mid. Very similar option optimized for suppressed use. Similar profile to yours, but iirc they have 5/8x24 threads with a tapered shoulder if you want to run a can that way (can also just put on one of the Rearden devices that supports a tapered shoulder)

Great content. I love niche products! My wife doesn’t…. Because I often buy them.

Currently Running a blackout defense 11.5 middy for a while now. Paired with a scs from JP, Lantac bolt, and griffin recce 5 it runs like a top with the can. Just picked up a bootleg bcg to mess around with as well!

The AR15 version of the cugir champion.

I’ve had intentions of doing this for a while, but I’d much rather have the Noveske 11.5” midgas from their Chainsaw over the KAK barrel. Great video brother and I love the concept!

badass now i need to go and get one

Like for the like god, comments for the comment throne! I love this concept.

Seems like a good option for a GPR. May be time to switch out my old RGuns 11.5” to this. Yeh for Dissipators or whatever this is.

I have a LMT 16" mid chopped to 11.5 with a BRT gas tube .074 or something around there, with a Sierra 5/Ebrake. It shoots nicely, barely any recoil, little input to put the dot back on target. everything is original except the super42 h2 buffer/spring.

I'd argue this is a MICRO DIssapator, but hey tomato tomatoes

Such a cool product!!!

Thanks Hop!

hot take but i want KAK to have a front sight block option, i kinda want an FSB upper just for the utility when it comes to zeroing and stuff as well as sight alignment, IE the FSB is a good point of reference to get lined up similar to a pistols front sight sort of drawing your grip to line up, plus it looks cool when its recessed into the handguard

Is there a supressor long enough to pin and weld to make this a single stamp affair?

dunno if you go on to talk about it but i like the camo band as a pseudo loctite for the handguard screws.

SD here as well. My question is what happens this winter at -20 weather. Will it have enough gas to cycle then?

Sick.

Very cool video, good idea.

I'm guessing the YHM suppressor gas block would be ill-advised on something like this right?

if you close the gas port just a tad and then do a riflespeed adjustable gas block, you'd pretty much cover all your bases when it comes to running any suppressor out there, right?

A barrel for an educated enthusiast

Machinist related question, and just something I see in my own shop infrequently - are the gauge pins you checked the gas port with a plus/minus set? I use almost exclusively minus pins, and have to factor in the slight difference when diagnosing problems or checking diameters. Thanks, if you have the chance to reply.

Shidd Hop might be on top something!! Caught the Podcast and I'll be tuning in from now on! 🫡🦾

I have been trying no crush washer peel washer on my barrels more lately. A'lot of times the muzzle device times perfectly. Was that a UTG bi-pod? I been curious about there higher end ones. Thanks for letting me share.

I believe that, just like how the original meaning of dissipator has morphed from midlength gas with rifle length FSB to simply a rifle length gas with the shortest barrel possible, the correct term for a shorty dissipator should be Kino. BCM and even KAK themselves produce a 12.5 *carbine* gas barrel with midlength FSB for more rail space that they call Kino. Thus, middy gas 11.5/12.5 = Kino

My guy, what optic mount and top dot mount are you running?

Would like to see some videos of you doing some smithing on the Stoner platform.

I love it

Would it work with an OCL Polonium 5.56 duty suppressor installed?

kak dealer? kak supplier. laying that pipe down

6:24 brother is that a crush washer?

Lovely video! What's the second song?

What about opening up the port and putting a Riflespeed adjustable gas block on?

I mean couldn't you have any mid-length Barrel cut down to an 11.5? I get that could be pricey. What's the name of that company/individual I always hear everyone talking about having barrels cut down?......David Wilson? I know it's D Wilson

Nice

Mini Dissapator = Missy Tater

@focustripp how does that lpvo with the enclosed dot mount work for you?

So what would be the shortest possible barrel you could have a rifle length gas system on then? Is 16" as good as we get?

I want a 12.5 Mid . criterion hybrid ,SOLGW L89 rail .Centurion carrier and bolt,,.dedicated ,surefire RC2...just cuz

That ejection pattern is sexy!

Who up enjoying they KAK?

Go figure more G4P

Nice two pound optics stack on a 11.5" rifle....

So much gun stuff sucks cause it tries to do too much

Could you run a FSB on this barrel?

If it's dedicated why not go direct thread?

Is it actually softer shooting though? That's kind of the whole point of a Dissipator no?

The next technical challenge is a 300blk 7.5" or shorter permanent supression that runs supers and subs. Must be h2 buffer so you can use the hbpdw brace setup

Yeah fuck dwell time. We don't need that shit.

how do i get one of these? i would run it with turbo K also

DIY version of Silencer Shop SKU# YHM-7130

lmao

Personally all DISSY builds need a FSB they just look right

1st ?

Loving the bo2 music
