The plan so far is to put it on a 20" Remington 700 barrel. I was under the impression they weren't doing anything that wasn't specifically listed under their gunsmithing services, but I see how that could fit under the "Contour/Thread For Allen Engineering Collar" section. I'll make sure to contribute to the picture portion as soon as I'm able. Thanks again everybody. |

I had PVA do mine and it works, but it’s not the prettiest machine work nor did they follow instructions to machine the contour prior coating. The runout is also more than on my AR with a Ron-made collar! I generally like them, but they are undermanned and overworked. |

Discussed pros and cons of barrel lengths and suppressors and eventually settled on the real deal M4/Gordon can. Thanks @k31user |

Quick little update, the AEM5-M4 collar was the right medicine for my 12.5-inch rebuild. I know most aren't too hot on OCL but they had the part in stock and I just figured Ron had bigger fish to fry sorting out custom work.
  Now to get it back out on the range... |

Anyone running an AEM5 on a Sig MCX Spear Lt 5.56? I have been thinking about trying mine out on an MCX once I get the stamp approved. First thought is that it may be a little gassy, especially since the rifle was designed to run with their flow through can design.
Would love to hear from anyone that as tried this. |

There are better cans for a lot of things than OPS pattern, and I love my two OPS pattern cans. But on a short barrel I would use a muzzle mount can.

Soon…
 After 15ish years of Mk12 ownership I’m finally getting the last piece of the puzzle. I ditched 5.56 in favor of 6.5 Grendel about 10yrs ago and basically resigned myself to never get the suppressor. Saw the AEM5-30K pop up on capitol armory a while back and finally gave into temptation when I realized they only had one left in stock. The poor Mod-H has been sitting in the back of the safe for a long time, new large frame toys have taken the spotlight but I think having the can will change things. If nothing else powder prices being what they are 6.5 Grendel makes for a cheaper range day than 6.5 Creedmoor or 308.

I was going to buy that 30K earlier in the week, but decided I didn't want to go through CA. 😆 I didn't know there was only 1 either lol It was just a happy accident, my plan was to add it to cart and start the checkout process to see if they wouldn’t combing shipping with a rimfire can. Then I got an error saying there was insufficient stock and realized I already had one in my cart. So human nature being what it is the can I’d waffled back and forth about buying for the last two weeks became the most important thing in the world for me to get my hands on and I couldn’t get my CC number entered fast enough. I’ve seen them for sale a couple other places. No idea what kind of production capacity Trajectory Arms has but I figured this would be a popular configuration for them, if they went through the trouble of tweaking the design I imagine they would make a pile of them. The one I bought had a single digit serial number so no idea how good my guess is based on that. |

Im excited for the AEM5-30K, not just to get the Mod-H out a little more but I’ve had this idea in the back of my mind since getting my SCAR 20 to chop and reprofile the barrel for a flush fit. |

How does the CF tube do with the heat from the can? I’m normally not a fan of handguard over suppressor due to the HG heating up from the suppressor. Does the carbon fiber PRI tube negate this heat transfer compared to steel or aluminum? |
