I lost the set screw for one of my long SPR collars I got from ADCO. Does anyone here know the thread pitch and length?

IIRC, 6-32
Take the collar with you to a hardware store. Probably need a length under 1/8". |

Here's my AEM2 host, barrel length is around 10.75. I bought the Collar Extender and had an 11.5 barrel chopped so the AEM2 will index right in front of the bayo lug. This gives me the Mk18 feel I was looking for without having to chop the bayo lug and lose a couple of pic slots on my FSP rail.

hoping you guys could help me out!...my original plan was to pick up an AEM5 for mk12 rifle, but am now considering the idea of grabbing the AEM30 for use on my .308 SPR as well...
the concerns i have is that a the AEM30 on the mk12 wont work as well as the dedicated AEM5, has anyone run it and can comment on how well (or not well) it suppresses? also, i have never come across an "spr profile" .308 barrel that will fit the collar/break, are these even made or does it require custom machining? |

You can get an AEM5 that's bored out for .30cal. ADCO had some recently, out of stock now though. |

I thought that the AEM5-30 was more than just a AEM5 bored out to 30 caliber, i think it's a little longer as well. I was looking into getting one because I have 3 5.56 guns set up for the AEM5 and I figured it would be nice to have another compatible can that I could also use on a future 308 bolt action.

AE30 doesn't use a muzzle device. |

I thought it was a little bit longer. Any idea of how the AEM5-30 compares to the AE30 as far as suppression? I was thinking about getting a AE30 for a future Sako or AI, but the AEM5-30 would be more convenient if I want to take two of my 5.56 guns out that are set up for my AEM5.

So I was shooting the AEM5 on this:
And when I was cleaning it I noticed this: 
Am I correct in assuming that was a baffle strike? Is that something to worry about? As far as I can tell the can is aligned properly. Its on a 12.5" Barrel with the AEM5 M4 collar. I get about 6.5 turns on the threads. I'm using the flashhider from ADCO instead of the brake. Should I be worried? |

I noticed this baby endcap strike a while ago and it hasn't been an issue. 16th model only run on a 12.5" barrel.I'm not gonna lie though, it's had some .22 (cenier kit) through it which I presume was the culprit.

Here's a comparison of a 16th model, AEM30, 12th Model .30cal 
I'm not sure if the AEM5-30 is the same specs as the 12th .30 though. I've finished my mk12 clone (except for the AEM5) and my 12th will fit on it fine, haven't shot it yet though. I've been told that the reason AE30 doesn't have a brake was because the brake would negatively affect accuracy without the can on while using the 12th .30. |

Also, I have this really bad itch to get an adapter to run my AEM3 on my 10.5" MK18-ish now..and then build a 12.5" upper to run the AEM5 on... |

So I originally mounted my threaded flashhider with a lock washer from an M16A1 parts kit I had.
After the baffle strike I got worried that the lock washer was causing alignment issues ( I dont think it was but I'm paranoid) So I removed it and attempted to remount the flash hider with a crush washer when this happened: 
Oops, Now before I get another one and screw it up again what is the correct way to mount this thing? I was using a screwdriver through the holes, didn't even get a 1/16th of a turn before it broke. Barely crushed the crush washer at all. |

I stuck 2 Allen wrenches through the slots, side by side. You could do the same with flat stock that fits the slots, but I have tons of Allen wrenches because they're cheap when you lose them and buy new ones and later find the ones you lost
 Then I took a large closed my armorers tool for barrel nuts and used that as leverage against the allen wrenches. The Allen wrenches help even the torque on the prongs of the flash hider. There's a pic somewhere in this thread that another member helped me out with. |

My 12th model shifts impact up 0.75 MOA.
My KAC NT4 shifts impact up and left 1.25 MOA. Blowback doesn't bother me, but there is noticeably less blowback with the 12th model Consistency is no noticeable change |

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that if the AEM5 suppresses more it would have more blow back. Wouldn't an AEM3 be closer to the size of the others? |

I would say the same is true for blowbacl with the barrel, gas block; and buffer being used. I get no discernable POI shift or GTF in a 16" Wilson bbl with Adcod profile to accept the collar, H2 buffer, cut down FSB, and no gas buster. Same is true for my Mk 12 with WOA bbl, rifle buffer, Badger gas block, and gas buster. I did have both barrels checked for concentricity which is the only commonality besides the can itself. |

Might as well step in because I am also interested in this discussion. I have no hatred for the AEM- once it is warmed up and settled in, I love it. Can't beat the sound. As I started to discuss later in the quoted thread, I think tolerance stacking is more likely the culprit than the suppressor itself in that it engages both the muzzle device and a collar as opposed to just hanging off the muzzle device. Rifle barrel is an 18" douglas MK12/SPR with an allen brake and badger long collar with badger MK12/MK18 gas block. Rifle Buffer. The G5 was used on the same rifle before I owned the AEM. IIRC the POI shift was around 2 MOA and there was no hot/cold shift. |

I posted with no negative intent in response to a question and did not consider the impact to concerned businesses. I assumed it was normal and will contact you via other means if it is not. [Edit] it does have a plastic stock: <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/nihilsum/media/IMG_0756_zpswrdb9wnb.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/nihilsum/IMG_0756_zpswrdb9wnb.jpg</a> I had a 3" downward shift with the can. I removed the old ops flashhider that I may have overtorqued, scrubbed the old rockset off the threads thouroughly, and installed the brake it came with plus a new crushwasher, just enough to time the brake, no rockset and now I have no impact shift at all. Its so perfect ill never mess with it again even though id rather have a flash hider. Im not sure what exactly fixed what but its capable of 1 moa with 75g prvi ammo, I have a lot of confidence with my mk12 with and without the can now. |

They look really good together. I'll be using an Criterion M110 barrel cut down to 16" and a Badger gas block; everything else will be Knight's. |

I'm really ready to finish this build, it's taken long enough. Getting the lower finished is becoming a headache. I found a finished lower that would compliment this build well and if I run into any other issues, I'm going to pick it up. |

Yeah I know the feeling; I just started mine and I'm already dying to finish it. Was thinking about setting it up for an AE can but I think the SDN-6 is the best call. |

I'd honestly love to be waiting on a KAC can for this, but I can't swing that right now. I spoke to Ron a while back about making a new can. I asked about getting a shorter AE-30 made but they said they would have to redesign the baffle stack to shorten it. Just an inquiry but as good as Ron is about customer service, I may pursue it a little more next year.

Why not bore out an AEM2 or 3?
Unless you specifically do not want a muzzle break. |

Just that I have 4 guns, (3 calibers) that are already contoured for the AE-30 and don't want to redo everything. The AEM5-30 came out about two weeks after my AE-30 Form 4 was approved. Had it been out earlier I would have preferred to get it instead. Think of an AE-30 that was about 6.5" overall length, so it only added about 4" in length. Just enough to take the bark out of 308 and still plenty for 300blk subs. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dangerdan: Why not bore out an AEM2 or 3? Unless you specifically do not want a muzzle break. Well for me, there won't be enough room for the can to index on. I'm chopping a 20" barrel back to 16" so I get rifle-length gas. Plus, I don't think the M2 or M3 would provide sufficient suppression. As much as I want to go with an AE can, the SDN-6 gives me what I need. |
