Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "dissipator" AR-15 build?

A dissipator AR-15 build features a 16-inch barrel with a rifle-length gas system and a front sight block at the end of the barrel. This design mimics the look of a longer carbine while remaining a legal rifle, avoiding NFA SBR regulations.

How was the XM4/Commando clone built to avoid NFA regulations?

The clone was built using a "dissipator" configuration with a 16-inch barrel. This setup provides the visual aesthetic of a shorter rifle without actually being an SBR, thus bypassing the need for an NFA tax stamp and registration.

What specific parts were used in the XM4/Commando AR-15 clone build?

Key components include a J-Mac Customs forged lower receiver, a Palmetto State Armory dissipator upper, a Colt surplus CAR-15 stock, a modified A2 pistol grip with Goon Tape, and a Trijicon RX01 Reflex sight.

What is the significance of the Trijicon RX01 optic in this build?

The Trijicon RX01 Reflex sight, featuring a 6 MOA amber dot, was chosen to replicate the specific "reflex sight" upgrade seen on the Commando weapon in the Call of Duty: Black Ops game, adding to the clone's authenticity.
