I honestly haven't really shot it enough yet. It didn't seem any more gassy than usual but this is the first real carbine upper I've had it on; my other is a mid-length 14.5" URX. The cases seem to eject right in the 3-o'clock zone. |

Yeah, the mid-length isn't that bad on the Mod H. I just noticed it a lot more on that vs. on the Mod 1 rifle-length gas. Was just curious as to how it was working on the carbine length systems. Guess there's not too much a guy can do if you wanna run with OR without the can on a carbine w/standard front sight, other than stepping up buffer weight and maybe a stiffer recoil spring.

Slash's XH Buffer & spring combo, I have run one in my SR & all of my ARs with the exception of the 300BLK for years. They noticeably "soften" recoil impulse & don't cause issues with running unsuppressed. Worth the price to play IMO. JPSC on the 300BLK, I run subs through that one w/ an adj. gb so the heavier buffer wouldn't be beneficial but it's the bees knees on a fully gassed gun shooting supers. |

He'll have to get Ron to make a collar that budges up against the thread shoulder. That would be the cheapest way. |

Another thumbs up for Ron Allen's customer service, he's in the process of making a collar for my A1 build. Nothing like calling a company and having the owner pick up the phone and answer all your questions. It really gives you some peace of mind when making a tough purchase decision.

Finished reading this a couple months back. Fucking excellent read, Utah!! Even caught my wife paging through it on our Kindle  Recommended to my Dad as well (Brown Water Navy vet '70-'71). He's sort of a hardcopy guy though, so will have to order one of those soon if there's still some available? ETA on the follow-up novel..?

Anyone have a Mod Holland clone or 16 in upper using an AEM2 or AEM3? I would like to know how it sounds compared to the AEM5. I already have an AEM5 on a MK12 Mod 1 Clone, and was thinking I would try out an AEM2 on a Mod H upper to lighten it up a bit, but can't decide if I should go that route or just get another AEM5.

AEM2is NOT quiet. AEM3 is barely below 140db and has a much higher pitch than an AEM5. AEM4 and AEM5 are similar in tone as they share the same baffle stack. HTH |

Thanks JAR-SPR, I guess I'll go with another AEM5 since two is one and one is none and all that! :) Maybe I'll pickup an AEM2 down the road.

I've stayed away from this thread on purpose, but here we are.
Now I've got the bug to build a Retro-ish SBR with an AEM5. That is all. Carry on. |

The plan was an AEM5 before 41p but that won't happen |

HTH I'm a big fan of the AEM2 on the Holland & while it is noticeably louder than the 12th, it's also noticeably lighter & shorter which is just the benefit I was looking for when I swapped collars out to run it. The AEM2 & 15th sound very similar in performance to my ear & neither bothers me to shoot w/out hearing protection. YMMV AEM2  15th  12th  |

There is an adapter the goes over the AEM5 collar that allows the AEM2/AEM3/AEM4 to mount to it. |
