Ron, do you consider the Spikes gas blocks acceptable for mounting with? Apologies if that causes frustration as it’s a competitors product.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By uniquesnd: Complete upper, will be on a transferable H&R lower receiver that has the rest of the 723 kit on it. Sweet. I'd say ask Ron about getting on the next list of Gordy cans, if there's going to be one. Then also ask about the collar on pencil barrels or swap your barrel for an m4 cut barrel. If you're a fan of wasting money you can pick up the can and barrel from Charlie's but that's an extremely bad deal in my opinion. There may be some other vendors selling them too I just haven't seen it yet. |

Will the future run of M24 suppressors be in 11/16x24 or 5/8x24? Will the Gordon suppressors come with a 3 piece collar or will that be a separate piece? Thank you. As for podcast questions, I would love to hear about some of the most obscure govt entities/agencies/militaries that have purchased OpsInc/AE suppressors provided it's not under NDA.

I’m thinking about getting a bolt action for the AEM5.
I’m specifically thinking about a Ruger just because of the price, and I have some parts for it (shares some commonality with the 7.62x39). Of course I need a 22 caliber for the AEM5. If I get the barrel off the gun, who to send it to? Are there a couple of choices? I hope. Specifically, I’d like to send the barrel to them and have them install their hardware onto my barrel and then I pay for it all. Another option is to go higher dollar and integral. |
