Would a DPMS barrel be worth my time? I'm researching some possible components for an AR build

What do you want to do with your AR?
This about sums it up. Too bad I only have a stripped lower right now...
Check this place out, it may make you want to keep your MOE hand guards.

Interesting, I haven't seen these before. Thanks for the link.

I like the MOE hand guards, and wish I had gotten my carbine done with a midlength gas system so I could have gotten a little more space to reach out further with my support hand.
I have rails on one of my other uppers, and a JP tube on my rifle. I like the tube WAY better then the rails.

Oh yes, it's already addicting and I haven't even finished my first build. They're like Legos for grown-ups that go "boom"
Now - dumb question, but I can't seem to find a definite answer anywhere. The barrel assembly I am using will have a YHM low-profile gas block on it with the mid-length system. Will the MOE handguards still work fine with this setup? Every MOE setup I can find has a front sight post that sits right in front of it. I have some misc. parts around here, including a round handguard cap. Will this setup still work solidly or do you need a FSP to "complete" it?
I believe the MOE uses the front handguard cap before the FSB.
If you're planning to go over the lo-pro block I think you'll be fine, but I can't confirm as I haven't tried it. Now if you plan to go right up to the gas block I think you're out of luck as I believe the MOE uses the front handguard cap before the FSB. I'll know more this week when I receive mine.
This is correct. Are you buying a built upper, or parts to assemble?
Hmm ok. I might be out of luck then. As far as I know, my gas block will land just in front of the hand guard as the barrel has a mid-length system and the hand guards are designed for a mid-length system. Unless the gas block will keep the cap pinned against the hand guard? I guess I will just have to wait and see. Like I said, worst case scenario is I get rid of the hand guards and pick something else up.
I have a Troy 13.8" railed hand guard that is pretty sweet for a tactical cheese grater. In hind sight, I wish I would have went with the Troy VTAC TRX tube. http://troyind.com/ /battlerails/vtac-rail-trx-extreme-by-troy-13
Like I said, I am kind of over the rails and prefer a tube.
Did BCM ever go to production with a dissy? Some reading on m4carbine seemed to indicate only Adco, Bushmaster, and Spike's had been making them, but I didn't see anything on Spike's or BCM's sites about a dissy.
I looked on their page quickly for a picture or link, and the only thing I saw is what they call a "Kino", or something like that, but it is a short barrel upper with the FSB moved away from the gas block.
I mean do you want to compete (if so how, USPSA/3gun, Highpower), shoot little furry critters, look like a ninja cop ready to shoot someone's dog, defend your home, or just throw lead down range?
I was just having a little bit of fun. Saw the original 'What do you want to do with your AR? ' statement and could only think of the 'I Wanna Rock' video from waaay back. I do have a stripped lower and my plan right now is simply to read and digest. First build will likely be a SHTF 16 or 18" mid-length. After that I may build a competition rifle. I build my own computers and this process stimulates the same part of my person. Great thing about building rifles is they don't plummet in value like computers do...
Getting ready to put on my collapsible DPMS stock tonight. Do I need to worry about pinning this thing before mounting this to the lower receiver or just go for it and put it on and figure out pinning the stock later?
No, Cant swing it now.How complete is the lower? do you have an upper?
