Shouldn't be a patent problem unless I copied most of it and tried to sell for profit as my own design! Only similarities would be diameter, length and using their brake/collar. Just an idea, been pondering building my own suppressor for a few months now. |

Alright I need the hives wisdom. I've officially lost my damn mind racking my brain around why I'm only getting 2 turns out of my 12th model before lock up. My BCM barrel I get 7.5 rotations and my Ballistic Advantage is 6 rotations.
Barrel is a Shilen supposedly setup for the ops collar and brake based on specs provided. Soooo modify the collar or move the barrel step back? From back of the collar to the step inside is 1.033" Remeasured comes to 1.58" 
Remeasured comes to 1.72"

My BCM barrel I get 7.5 rotations and my Ballistic Advantage is 6 rotations. Barrel is a Shilen supposedly setup for the ops collar and brake based on specs provided. Soooo modify the collar or move the barrel step back? From back of the collar to the step inside is 1.033" Remeasured comes to 1.58" http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/rcmartin1/F43C381B-A172-45F3-8CBE-353A51A7AE44_zpsxhcwwkqu.jpg Remeasured comes to 1.72" http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/rcmartin1/A2786F50-F3AB-460A-BFD4-A42324A7F438_zps7zm0gqg2.jpg Either your barrel is too short, or your step is .04" shallow. Edit: I'd modify the collar... Checked the barrel today too it's 18" exactly. I've already disassembled the entire thing and prepped to have the barrels step moved back just not confident that's the right decision. I've already called in a Hail Mary for another BCM barrel to replace this one if it doesn't work out . Would be a shame to knowing how accurate this one isI'm thinking the original barrels were slightly longer that 18". KOBK would be the man to talk with, since he literally has a no shit original SPR. Maybe he could give you a barrel length with brake. (Only because taking that thing apart would be a travesty) Edit: Are the two barrels identical, minus the step location? [email protected] and [email protected] I don't have any rods here at home to measure the barrels but what I've got is th BA 16" step is @ 1.7" and th Shilen 18" is @ 1.58". The BCM is 18" but don't have torch here to loosen the collars set screw to measure the step. Ron at AE hasn't answered my email (week now) so I don't know I should even bother asking him for a custom long collar with .14 removed from the inside step. |

Well... ordered myself the Brownells M16A1 lower. Guess I'm getting serious about this build.
Been looking at the price of Colt BCG and Uppers... wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a 6920 OEM1 and then part out the lower and barrel? Colt uppers are like $150 if you can find them in stock, and Brownells has the Colt BCG for $220 or so. A Colt 6920 OEM is going for under $800 and I think the Colt lowers sell for like $400-$500 right? Barrels for $200? |

The NF 2.5-10x32 is essentially the same size as the Mk4 MR/T 2.5-8x36 |

I know this image has already been posted, but god dammit if this isn't one of the coolest Mod 1s I've ever seen - it's worthy of a re-post (especially for the newcomers who may not have seen it yet):
