I'm building an 11.5 that it will share time on but I need Ron to make me a custom mount so I can use my fortis extended carbine fsb cutout rail. |

Nice thread, I'm getting on board the train.
I have a Mk12 with an AEM5 and am looking to build another rifle which can use this can. I've been collecting parts with the Larue BuilAR offers and should take delivery of an upper and 13 inch rail. What's the best option for 16 inch barrels?

A few guns. An AEM3 and AEM5. The MK12 is using a White Oak Armament barrel and long collar, the 16" Recon next to it is using a Daniel Defense barrel and M4 profile collar, both with brake mounts.
The second image is a KISS build using a Ballistic Advantage 16" Midlength barrel and ADCO AE Comp and M4 profile collar. Bottom is an older picture of my 11.5" BCM upper. Used to have a KMR10 and low pro gas block before it was suppressed, more recently rocking a PRI Front Sight Gas Block and KMR7. Can mounts to an ADCO AE Comp sitting in front of a Collar Adapter Extender to clear the PRI Front Sight Gas Block...which is a little bit longer, but necessary...it's still shorter with the can mounted than the 16" guns.
