Limited Production 18″ AR-15 Barrels and Uppers from Sionics
Sionics Weapon Systems has released their SPR barrels for purchase separately or assembled in limited production upper receiver groups. These are the same barrels that they designed for the Matt Axelson tribute rifle project that Sionics was a part of and it shoots very well by all accounts.
These 416R stainless barrels are 18″ in length. They have a 1 in 8″ twist, .223 Wylde chamber, rifle length gas system, and M4 barrel extension. The profile is a slightly heavy, SPR type profile. The barrel ships with a gas block and is dimpled to make installation easy.
Sionics is offering three uppers featuring this barrel. The main difference between them is the hand guard. There are two Geissele SMR options and a 15″ Samson Evo option. Each upper includes their excellent NP3 coated bolt carrier group. Considering that these uppers feature a great barrel and come with a bolt carrier group, it is hard to beat their pricing.
If you have been shopping for a precision AR-15 upper, act fast.
SIONICS Weapon Systems Dissipator – Complete Rifle Now Available
SIONICS Weapon Systems recently introduced their Dissipator barrel and that is great news for Dissipator fans. Now they have released a complete rifle using the same barrel.
The barrel features everything you have come to expect from SIONICS barrels. The 16″ long barrel, 11595E CMV 4150 Steel barrel has a versatile 1 in 8″ twist. It is chrome lined and has M4 feed ramps. The low-profile gas block is placed in the mid-length gas position along with a pinned FSB in the rifle gas position.
The rifle is topped off with SIONICS’ excellent Nickel/PTFE treated M16 Bolt Carrier Group with extra power extractor spring and the ALG Defense QMS Mil-Spec trigger. It also features Magpul MOE Hand Guards and Stock, Ergo Grip, an “H” buffer, and PMAG 30.
One of the biggest disadvantages to Dissiptors is a bit of additional weight that comes with the extra gas system parts but SIONICS has managed to keep this one relatively trim at 6 pounds, 15 ounces. They also managed to shave some cash off the price for a special introductory sale. Check out the complete Dissipator rifle at SIONICS Weapon Systems.
New SIONICS Dissipator Images
I received some new images of the SIONICS Weapon Systems Dissipator barrel (below). This is technically a “mock” Dissipator with a low-profile gas block in the mid-length position which is actually the preferred setup in terms of reliability. In one of the images, you can see that SIONICS secures the handguard cap to the front sight base with a set screw – a step that is necessary due to the lack of gas tube in that position.
Given SIONICS’ track record of quality, I think this barrel probably just vaulted itself to the front of a very short line of available Dissipator options. Fans of this configuration are likely dancing in the streets as I type this.
Be sure to read the previous post about this barrel. Check out SIONICS Weapon Systems.

AR-15 shooters who like Dissipator configurations will tell you that finding an off-the-shelf Dissipator barrel of good quality can be very difficult. However, that will only be the case for a few hours longer. SIONICS Weapons Systems will release their Dissipator barrels this afternoon.
The barrel will feature everything you have come to expect from SIONICS barrels. The 16″ long, 11595E CMV 4150 Steel barrel will have a versatile 1 in 8″ twist. It will be chrome lined and have M4 feed ramps. The low-profile gas block is pinned in the mid-length gas position.
Merry Christmas Dissipator fans. Check out the new barrel at SIONICS (it won’t show up until sometime this afternoon).
