Visited the AEM5 in the clink today. She looks so black and shiny in the pics but is flat and dark grey in person. No  knurling.

Perfect!

I'll reach out to you next week when I'm back in town; my 6.5 Grendel Mk 12 Mod-H upper is set to be delivered from you tomorrow and I really want a can for it.  I hope I can get a chance to shoot it Thursday morning before I head to the airport.

Muzzle brake when not using the suppressor.




 I don't have the specs in front of me, but probably less weight also.

Because the guy is building a308 MK12 type rifle. .30 AEM5 would make his build a close match to what he wants over using a AE30.

Yes for the AEM4/AEM2 but NO for the AEM5 the spacing is longer. The AEM5 does not work with any pre-made barrel SBR lengths + that gas block. You need to use a profiled barrel with collar, or the AEM5 to M4 adaptor collar on a 12.5" or larger barrel.

I have some odd Ops Inc/Allen Engineering setups with mixed collars and brakes that I figure I would share.

Maybe this will help some people break into these cans instead of buying QD cans over them...

Here's three primary setups. From top to bottom:

Setup 1: 16" BA barrel profiled for an Ops Inc 12th/AEM5 with MK12 'long' collar and A1 flash hider (AEM3 spacing w/ adapter)
Setup 2: 12.5" BA barrel gov profile using a Spike's Tactical LRS collar against the gov profile shelf and a Spike's Tactical Dynacomp HVS brake making AEM3 spacing
Setup 3: 10.5" BA barrel gov profile using a Spike's Tactical tapered LPGB for suppressors and a Spike's Tactical Dynacomp HVS brake making AEM3 spacing



None of these barrels needed any modification what-so-ever and worked out of the box with brake and collar setups.

Here are the individual setups and adapters used.

Ops Inc 12th Model with setup 1:





AEM3 with 12th model to 13th model slide-over-barrel spacer adapter:



Comparison with Ops 12th:



AEM3 with Setup 2:





Ops Inc M4-S with Setup 3:

How do you want me to measure it? Barrel length, or entire rifle length? Stock collapsed if so?

Yeah. Sorry. I meant barrel length.  

Better way to ask: how much more length over 10.5"?

~1"

Here is the specs from Ops inc, but the can isn't made by Ron anymore though I'm sure he COULD make one. They were $250 when they were made for OPS:

http://www.opsinc.us/suppressors/M4-S.html

I got the last one from ADCO in 2013.

It basically takes all of the bite off of the 5.56 round just without much suppression of sound. There is zero muzzle rise, recoil, and concussion just like a larger suppressor but with a minimal reduction in DB due to only having two baffles.

I don't have the "short" collar, but I think they are exactly the same? One just has less material on the back.

Thanks!

What's the difference between the "short" and "long" SPR collar?

Now if I did have that SPR contour on a 12.5" barrel, what I'm looking for is to have the collar right up against the gas block. Would there be a difference in barrel length depending on which SPR collar is used?

It's really the material on the back that is concerning me in how it might determine my overall barrel length since I want the collar sitting right up against the gas block.

And, unfortunately, I can't use the Spike's tapered gas block in this setup.

Can you share some info on your rail length? I have a 16" URG w/ URX 3.1 and want to know if an AEM4 will fit. As well as a 12.5" URG that I'm currently peicing together and want to run an AEM2 on. Thanks in advance.

Here is a photo with collar spacing lengths...you can measure from the front of your barrel. These apply to profiled barrels as well as adapter collars:



My 16" SPR above is a 16" barrel with URXIII 12.5" 'setup 1'. The AEM5 fits just fine as you can see with a bit to spare, so the AEm2/AEm3 etc will fit with even more room to spare.

If you have a 12.5" barrel like my 'setup 2' that's how it will look like...that's an AEM3 can on there. The rail is an SLR rifleworks 10" rail so basically if you want the rail to butt up against an AEM3/AEM2 like mine does you need to get an exact measurement spec from the manufacturer of the rail because companies are usually .2-.5" off of their stated lengths plus or minus.

11.5" barrel won't allow for an AE30 to mount properly, even if you remove the bayonet lug. You need at least 2.5" of barrel for AE30/AE22/AEM5.

Original 3rd models for 5.56 actually reflex over the barrel 4".

As far as I know, collar adapter is not for AE30/AE22/AEM5. Minimum barrel length for AE30AE22/AEM5 is 12.5" if using an A2 FSB but it will require a custom collar if you keep the bayonet lug.

Gov't contour--as in the 0.7" x 0.7" step at the shouler of the muzzle? Should be able to take the any of the AEM2/AEM3/AEM4 collars with the exception of 10.5" barrels with A2 FSB's and 7.5" barrels. 11.5" barrels will likely need to have bayonet lug removed to fit AEM2/AEM3/AEM4 collars if it has the 0.7" x 0.7" steps at the shoulder of the muzzle.

I'm glad I found this thread as I had some questions about the AE suppressors. The build I am planning is either a centurion arms 12.5in barrel with fsb and the c4 cutout rail or a 12.5in ca barrel with 9.5 cmr rail. Would these setups be gtg or would additional work be required. If they need any work I would just substitute a DD 12.5 barrel.

Is there an upper limit for how many turns are too much on the AEM5? I got 10 full turns

um, you may want to contact the manufacturer to be sure but I think 6-8 turns is ideal and 10 turns you may be pushing the muzzle device againt the first baffle.

When I first got mine I only got 2.5 turns until tightened which was crane spec for fast attach requirement.  I asked Ron about it and he recommended at least 6 turns so he made me a custom collar.

depending, you may just have to use a shim instead of a crush washer, but I'm not sure what you all you have there.
