Picked up an AEM5 the other day and was thinking about attempting to do a Holland URX4 build. Does anyone know if the gen 1 ace socom stocks were used for that gun or gens 1-3?
Appreciate any help! |

So I ordered a complete PRI Mod H upper and it was my understanding later in Mod H life that PRI did supply their complete uppers to the military. With that said, is the PRI BCG clone correct or should it be a colt?

Gents, I just finished reading 89 pages of this and my wallet is about to take a hit here.
One question I have that isn't quite clear, were any Mod H's ever built with polished/bead blasted stainless barrels? I'm aware of the couple close ups of the Noveske FDE barrels, as well as some black coated barrels, but have we actually seen any confirmed evidence that these were built with unfinished stainless barrels? I'm planning to order a Bison and trying to decide between bead blasted and FDE finish. |

It looks like they have two 16" 223 Wylde barrels, the Recon and the SPR. The Recon appears to have the step further forward for the M4 collar as you said. The SPR version pictured on the site appears to have the step further back in the normal spot. Do you have the Recon or SPR?
I sent an email to them to clarify as well, thanks for the heads up on this, I won't be ordering one if it won't fit a standard MK12 long Collar. |

I would clarify the location before ordering. I went with the 6.8 barrel. It showed two different locations in their pics for the collar location. You know what they say about ass-uming . A mess up on my part, that will be remedied as soon as I can get it to an engine lathe. Didn't realize they had two different profiles listed on their .223 barrels. Wanted to spare you my headache. My barrel looks great. Just that darn step. |

Answer I just received from Ben at Bison on this:
'Our SPR barrels are compatible with AEM products, and in particular the SPR is made for the Ops Inc 12th model which is the same as the AEM5 IIRC. We worked with Ron at AE to make sure the dimensions are right and I run Ops Inc 12th models on these barrels personally so I know they are correct.' I think this addresses the question. Really great service from Bison as well to provide such a detailed response so quickly on a weekend. |

the upper/barrel were fde coated, points to later pri job.

View Quote Hollands weren't put together with bare stainless barrels. There were a few "prototypes" assembled off Brownells parts orders with black coated SS barrels. The rest were converted from existing SPR uppers and a few were scratch built, probably to replace totally busted uppers or the handful of SPR uppers sold/kept by PRI. On the upper you asked about it was a converted SPR upper, so pick from Armalite or Colt AF forge. Small chance of Diemaco but most likely the first two. Not enough pixels to see a rollmark through worn spraypaint. I haven't talked to the guy that sent me the pics of his Holland in a long time and doubt I can get him to verify it anymore. |

Given that the SMRS is 34mm, which mounts/rings would be kosher with the Recce rail? Would the LT111 OBR be the only option? Was looking at NF 34mm rings but I didn't see them on the menu on page 1 so figured I'd ask.

That's all I've been able to find as well so I guess I'll be stuck with it since I'm going the SMRS route. I'm a pretty consistent kinda guy, I like to have common caliber in all my guns so they can share ammo, go for 30mm scopes so I have mounts that work for all of them, etc.. With the SMRS being 34mm it's thrown a wrench in the plan. Par for the cloning experience I suppose |
