Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SDMF_Rebel: The alternative is a 14.5 socom, which is $360, then I can't run the aem5 and would have to use my turbo Maybe just a 6920 barrel? Those things can be hammers and are pretty cheap. |

Has Ron stopped making the M4 to AEM5 collars? That’s all you need to run on 6920 or SOCOM

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SDMF_Rebel: Guys, I need a sanity check. Am I fucking retarded for spending almost $500 on a barrel for my MRE abortion? Edit - Criterion SS blank w/ FSB taper pinned and profiled for aem5 I say it's a solid idea, but I'm on the MRE high so my opinion is biased. |

The thing that sucks is a carbine gas match grade barrel is impossible to find.
If it were mid length this would be much much cheaper. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SDMF_Rebel: The thing that sucks is a carbine gas match grade barrel is impossible to find. If it were mid length this would be much much cheaper. I'd go FN or Colt M4/SOCOM type barrel with a M4 to AEM5 adapter and call it a day. I bet it will still shoot very well without going over the top. You have other rigs that are really designed to squeeze the accuracy out. I'm afraid if you ever decided to change gears on the project you will lose your ass on that barrel. Meanwhile a Colt/FN will be worth the same if not more on the used market. I don't like to make purchases based off "resale" scenarios but it's part of this game. Hell, that's why I bought the Mk11 kit is I figured I could easily get my money out if I didn't want it. ETA: But man if you want to roll a high end barrel for the project then go for it. Don't let me tell you otherwise. |

I'm not advocating retardation, but would be cool to see someone trim the MRE 0.6" for a flush AEM5 fit on a 14.5".
Edit: filler tube screw wouldn't allow for it. Nevermind. |

All you GWOT guys who are into old school Surefire check out the tailcap mod I just posted. Been hiding this one but had a few people ask me so decided to make a small diy.
Gets rid of your shitty 660 build in tapeswitch cap. Figured some Gothic Serpent-ish guys would dig this. https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/Surefire-660-6P-Secret-Tailcap-Mod/20-752340/ |

That pretty much solidifies my decision to back off the custom barrel idea. I don't want/need more than moa. BTW, the bootleg is dope. I ran it full suppressed w/ an H2 buffer. Locked back on m193, Outback 69gr, and mk262. |

Gonna throw an N1 and and A1 on here to try. The 512 is ok, but I found that a low QRP mount works quite well with my M2 on this setup, but I can't find the short screws for mine.

I’ve literally embarrassed dudes at the range with an old bushy hbar 1/9. One dude in ga was running a $2k plus production AR that will remain nameless and was pulling 2moa. I think my worst group of the day was 1.1moa |

The non FSP will most likely get a 1-6 but I had this Nikon lying around so I figured I’d throw it on to see how the Remington SOCOM barrel shoots.

Does anyone know of any other low mounts for a comp m2? The eotech is about 2/10ths of an inch too high to use with the iron sights, but I can't seem to find any short screws to work with the QRP. Any ideas?
I love the look of the aimpoint too.
