Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SpyHawk: Top half is a pre-assembly test fit for some components with a mock up. Took the cheap Primary Arms clone off my .22LR AR to see how the concept would work out. Bottom half is fully assembled, torqued down, using brake instead of vortex FH. Barrel is 13.7" ballistic advantage, which I have used several of their barrels now and the .7x.7" notch has always been spot on perfect for AEM MBS cans (AEM1-AEM4). Gas block is a ZRO Delta, smallest one I could find. It's... ok. I wouldn't get another one. Not sure what optic I'll get for this one. Kind of want to try the new Vortex 5X. Handguard is a Lancer 15", but it's actually closer to 16". https://i.imgur.com/KQoQkmu.jpg Nice man! Love the old ops inc. markings on those cans. ETA for page ownage.  Attached File |

Kevin Brittingham shared some pictures on his IG of an old Ops M16 can with the collar that indexes off the bayonet lug. Very cool setup.

Now to find someone to measure a RIS 2 for me to see if I can cleanly mill it to be flush. I don't want to be in the middle of one of the lightening holes. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyekahn: I'd chop a 16" to like 15.3 before I chopped a RIS! That's probably a better idea. I already have a 16" barrel that I could just have cut and profiled. Will the collar go under the ris to allow it to be flush like a FF RAS? I've never paid much attention to that part of the ris lol. |

Contact 19 Charlie tactical. I used the contact us form on their website and they made me a custom collar which indexes off the fsb. Built it from dimensions I took from my barrel and a sketch I made. Finish looks very nice and it slipped on the barrel perfectly. Haven’t trimmed my bayo lug yet to completely mount it yet though.

Pri tube 12.5 BA Barrel AE M4 collar for AEM5 AEM5 Cerakoted C-240 I later put on a 13.1" barrel so it could be shot unsuppressed. Very cool setup. Heat wasn't a big issue since the pri is CF but the bolts to hold on the rail panels would touch the can every now and then under recoil. Could trim them more I suppose. |

When I slip it on it only catches on a small part of the barrel because I can see light through all the other sides except for one bit of barrel. |

I am not the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier, but damn, man. Why are asking about a barrel that should not be in the same sentence as an AEM can? You just want the answer to be different, but is not. My wife drove around in the snow last weekend on a country road during a snow storm with those “high performance” (summer) tires and called me when she for stuck in a parking lot. I asked why she did not drive the car with snow tires? She just wanted to drive that two seat convertible. Great car. Wrong season. 🤷♂️ |

Gonna send an email request for a couple of collars. Do you have brakes to go with those collars (once the collars are made)? |

Used a micrometer for the second collar and those measurements fit like a glove. |
