Is anybody making 10.5" barrels with the collar and break already installed?

I don’t think you can go shorter than 12”

With A2 front sight you need 12.5" With low profile gas block, an 11.5 will work. You need 2.7" from bare muzzle to gas block.

I've got a 10.3" 300BLK with an OPS 12 set up. ADCO ended up milling the gas block to match the angle of the collar. Works like a champ.

The reason I ask is because I have an M24R from Remington Defense that I'd like to pair with this suppressor (and of course, have the barrel contoured to accept said suppressor as well). |

Are there any M4 AEM5 collars in stock anywhere? I got one off of the EE almost 2 years ago but I need a couple more.

Any who has a 12.5 bcm upper have any trouble with getting a collar/fitting a collar and brake for a aem5 on it? Looking at getting the complete upper if it works with that setup. Thanks

Couple of things real quick. I don't make an off the shelf M4 collar any more. If they held the diameter tolerances better, I would. For any custom collar I need to know the distance from the bare muzzle to the step, and the diameter before and after the step. 12.5 barrel works with AEM5, but if you have an A2 front sight, the bayo lug needs to be trimmed off. The 12.5 barrel pictured above would need the bayo lug trimmed, a measurement for the distance from bare muzzle to step, and the diameter just forward of the step.

Yes.

Can a socom profile barrel be cut to 12.5 effectively and the have the collar and brake mounted? I'd like a heavier barrel if possible. Sorry if this has already been answered. Thanks for everyone's help.

What is recommended to be used when mounting the aem5 Mount? Crush ring or shims? Rocksett?

Does anybody have an AE Collar Adapter Extender or know where to get some? If you have one you'd like to get rid off let me know. I've desperately been looking for one during the last 2 years or so with no luck.

Shoutout to D. Wilson for the barrel cut and profile. 12” 300BLK with AEM5 bored to .30 cal. Inspiration below.

Do you mean the "AEM5 M4 Collar" or the "M4 Collar" that is meant for the AEM2,3, & 4 suppressors?

I have a OPS Inc Collar Adaptor Extender for a 15th model in my parts bin that I bought from ADCO back in 06 I think. It looks horrible because I used a pipe wrench to remove it when I swapped barrels but it is still serviceable. The first person to email me through the forum can have it for free. CONUS only.
ETA: It found a new home. |
