I have the ballistic advantage 18" spr in my mk 12 mod1( rifle buffer and spring) and I would say it is about perfect with the aem5. I think it could get 90% of my spent brass thrown into a 5 gallon bucket setting at 4:30 5:00 and about 5 ft from the ejection port. |

Hey, off hand, does anybody know what the diameter of an AEM4 is?

Similar to the AK project, has anyone successfully attached an AE30 to an M1A SOCOM?
Smith Enterprises sells a threaded gas block to replace the standard muzzle break. Could a custom extension be made to attach an AE30? http://www.smithenterprise.com/products03.02.html |

Are those even available for standard length M1As? I'd have to imagine a shorty M1A/M14 would be even more challenging, but I'll let Ron speak to that. |

The right tool for the right job and all that. The Ops/Allen cans give you the advantage of less overall length, they tension the barrel for better harmonics, and give you low back pressure. If you aren't using them as intended, you are giving up two out of the three advantages. |

You would still be 'reflexing' the can over the mount so you are not losing that or the backpressure point so those are moot. An all in one mount would still provide those benefits, just not 'over' the barrel. 1/2-28 threads should still provide enough tension and strength for cans under the AEM5 size for rigidity as well on the end of the barrel. The only negative is you lose the OAL benefit of a reflexing can. |

Anybody know what the minimum barrel length my old Ops Inc 15th model is certified for? It doesn't say on the website (AEM3 web page anyway).
For some reason I've gotten the hankering to build an ultra short PDW based on a pistol length gas system. Edit: I'm wondering about a 7.5" with a pistol length gas system. Or 9". |

I am looking to build a 7.5" set up using a BA "modern" barrel. It has the front step but it measures .735 in diameter and that step is .600 in length before it bumps up to .750 gas block area, which is 1.870 in length. The other wrinkle is that I want to use a Superlative Arms adjustable piston system so I need a little bit more room in front of the gas block for the adjustment screws to opened and closed. (I don't have the piston parts yet so I can't give exact measurements yet)
I am thinking that I will probably need one of the two barrel extension adapters that AE makes to add a little length? Which one to go with is one of my questions. Anyone try this and have some pictures to share? I am leaning towards the one that requires the muzzle brake but not sure yet. Q: Do I need to pin the extension? Q: Will the barrel adapters work/ fit with that .735 diameter first step or instead of the standard .725 if a mil profile or does the inner diameter of the extension bottom out on the .750 gas block bearing surface instead? If the latter, then I should be good to go. I have noticed a few guys in here are saying that the collars are working on BA barrels but they are not saying which BA barrels they have. Again, I have the "Modern" profile barrel which looks a lot like a Mil profile on the business end of it but the front step is .010 wider. I am thinking about an AEM2 maybe. Not sure yet but not an AEM5. Thanks for info in advance. |

Ok, I fixed a lot of the links and pictures in the OP. Took me a lot longer than I thought to track down the pictures, since Photobucket dicked me so hard (when you click on the links to your OWN photobucket, it makes the images still impossible to read, so you have to match the file name with what is in your collection to figure out which picture it was).
Still not quite done yet (made it through about 2/3s of the OP, but will try again throughout the week and next weekend. |

hey guys, since this is the ops inc/allen engineering thread i thought you guys would have the most experience and could answer my question. i am thinking about picking up a ae30 or aem5-30 for my Tikka, im curious if any one has an opinion on which one i should go with if i decide to go with an AE suppressor. is the aem5-30 longer then the ae30 to just to accommodate the brake, do they both have the same amount of baffles? the rifle will mainly be used for PRS and hunting and will be on an 18". anyone have any opinions on the ae30 vs the aem5-30 for a bolt action rifle?

View Quote Really the issue is if you have another suppressor host - if you do, then the AEM5-30 would be a slightly better option since when you do shoot unsuppressed you will have a muzzle brake. If you don't ever plan on shooting unsuppressed, then the AE30 would do just the same. Some may say that the brake will serve as a sacrificial first baffle. While it does this, on a bolt gun, it really serves no additional advantage. |
