Thanks, I appreciate the list! Originally Posted By SaturationTech: ADCO did mine. Both an AR-10 .260 rem barrel and a Remington 700 .308 barrel. Their Ops/AEM profile service gets you a collar too. That's great to hear. The plan so far is to put it on a 20" Remington 700 barrel. I was under the impression they weren't doing anything that wasn't specifically listed under their gunsmithing services, but I see how that could fit under the "Contour/Thread For Allen Engineering Collar" section. I'll make sure to contribute to the picture portion as soon as I'm able. Thanks again everybody. |

View Quote I had PVA do mine and it works, but it’s not the prettiest machine work nor did they follow instructions to machine the contour prior coating. The runout is also more than on my AR with a Ron-made collar! I generally like them, but they are undermanned and overworked. |

He certainly took the time to talk with me for 20min when I started down the Gordon clone path. Discussed pros and cons of barrel lengths and suppressors and eventually settled on the real deal M4/Gordon can. Thanks @k31user |

Anyone running an AEM5 on a Sig MCX Spear Lt 5.56? I have been thinking about trying mine out on an MCX once I get the stamp approved. First thought is that it may be a little gassy, especially since the rifle was designed to run with their flow through can design.
Would love to hear from anyone that as tried this. |

There are better cans for a lot of things than OPS pattern, and I love my two OPS pattern cans. But on a short barrel I would use a muzzle mount can.

Any idea what barrel length I would need for a flush fit AEM5 with an 11.5 handguard? I'm thinking around 13.9 or so.

Don’t know which upper to try first when my can comes in? I really want to try the rifle speed gas block with a high back pressure can.

I was going to buy that 30K earlier in the week, but decided I didn't want to go through CA. 😆 I didn't know there was only 1 either lol It was just a happy accident, my plan was to add it to cart and start the checkout process to see if they wouldn’t combing shipping with a rimfire can. Then I got an error saying there was insufficient stock and realized I already had one in my cart. So human nature being what it is the can I’d waffled back and forth about buying for the last two weeks became the most important thing in the world for me to get my hands on and I couldn’t get my CC number entered fast enough. I’ve seen them for sale a couple other places. No idea what kind of production capacity Trajectory Arms has but I figured this would be a popular configuration for them, if they went through the trouble of tweaking the design I imagine they would make a pile of them. The one I bought had a single digit serial number so no idea how good my guess is based on that. |

How does the CF tube do with the heat from the can? I’m normally not a fan of handguard over suppressor due to the HG heating up from the suppressor. Does the carbon fiber PRI tube negate this heat transfer compared to steel or aluminum? |

How long does the mid length tapered block solution work out to? I think my math was about 15” with intermediate and 16.5 with rifle. I used a proof for the latter. It’ll get the chop soon.
