The reason I ask is I have a 16" stealth and was considering using it for a hollandish build. I measured the barrel forward of the Geissele 13" it's in now and it was .740, which is smaller than the .749 on the AE5 contour specs. I can see where the contour steps down about 2" in front of the gas block area. Is the 18" thicker and the reason you went with it? |

Wouldn't that pee in some peoples Cherios Best bet is whatever supplier PRI used at the time for their own uppers just without any engraving. |

My plan may have a fatal flaw, though - I never paid attention to the barrel profile behind where the collar rests, which AE's drawing shows as 0.7495" -0.005". I was so focused on the 0.725" area I didn't check that the Stealth barrel was fat enough behind it... 
Guess these are the reasons I'm a concrete guy and not a machinist/gun smith. And probably why I haven't heard anything out of Adco or seen my barrel back yet. They probably set it off to the side in the 'dumbass pile' to be dealt with later, at least that's what I would do... I'll have to give them a call tomorrow and see what they say after I do some measuring on my other barrels at home tonight, but it looks like it might be back to the drawing board. ETA: Didn't even make it home to measure - Steve at Adco sent me an email this afternoon that I'll have to have AE make a custom collar for the smaller OD of my barrel behind the step. Their 'dumbass pile' must not be as big as what I thought.

Looks good my friend!!! Did a little work filling in the 'waffles' at on the Gen 4 Ace. Never liked the way they looked and I'm not going to be putting down $800 for a Gen 1 any time soon... First fill in coat of JB Weld: 
Cleaned that up this morning with some emery cloth to get back flush with the metal, then applied a second thin coat that should get everything over-filled to where I can clean it up tomorrow and be ready for a shot of paint: 
We'll see how it works out. Thought about doing this second over-fill coat with bondo, but couldn't bring myself to put bondo on a rifle in any capacity. JB Weld should hold up pretty well and it's not too hard to work with as long as you babysit it and shave/sand it at the right time. |

I've been slowly gathering parts for this build. This thread is awesome and sucked me in. I'm still deciding on recce with ARMS rings or Larue mount. Also, need to decide on a lower. Are A2 lowers acceptable or should I wait on an A1?

Got the barrel back from Adco and it looks fantastic. Assembled the upper sans scope and rings since the #22's are on a diet to lose those unsightly lever stops. Heavier than I thought it would be, but I'll blame that on the Stealth barrel. Stoked to get the glass back on it and shoot it for a bit before giving it a Krylon bath. |
