Wow this BA barrel is quality. I feel bad not building a mod 1 out of it. Haven't shot it yet but I can certainly say it was beautifully machined. 6 turns with the long collar!

I called Ron yesterday to see if he could make an AEM5 to M4 barrel collar for the SIG M400 barrel, as the SIG barrel is a bit bigger than an M4 barrel (by 0.020") and the collar I got from ADCO won't work. I asked Ron how much, and he told me to just send him my address and measurements. He didn't want me to have to pay for another one. Great guy. |

I dont have enough money to even LOOK at them lol
Ok off to fix my collar issue.... Edit: THANK YOU MAP GAS . either WOA screwed up or badger did. Im going to have to take a LOT of material off to get this to slide on like it should. Edit: im not comfortable having this collar support a suppressor. Attempting to open up the inside has just deteriorated the shoulder of the collar that the barrel contacts. Short collar is going back on. What a collossal waste of $50. I will machine my own or buy a used one. Fucking pissed. |

Trust me when I say it's Badger's issue Not that it matters. Everyone seems to contradict what I have to say. I used a Badger gas manifold and had fitment issues. Some of y'all might remember my posts from way back in the day, trying to sort it out. I ended up using sandpaper on the inside of the manifold and barrel to remove enough material to get it mounted. |

Why are we shitting on the long collars that someone whent out of their way to get for us? Like what's been stated- there are so many different manufacturers that make mk 12 parts (barrels and gas blocks) that things like this are going to happen. You shouldn't have forced the collar on really and that's all there is to it. For instance. This long collar fit absolutely perfect on that new BA barrel. Hopefully everyone learned a little something.

As for recutting the inner large bore are you saying it is too small for the barrel OD? |

Right back atcha, nice sticks! Contemplating a M110K1 clone, so that's where the Mk8 will land in all likelihood. Will probably go Eotech and magnifier on the 14.5" ... As for the Holland parts, they'll go to my Mod 0 parts bucket

Received the spacer from adco for my mod 1. Will post pics and measurements when I get things together. I think this will get me within the recommended number of turns on the aem5 ...and do so with decent aesthetics. I wish I didn't need the spacer

My AEM5 finally got released to me a few days ago. I got to shoot it indoors today for the first time, I'm loving it. I'm concerned about the muzzle break unscrewing inside the can. Has anybody used rocksett or is it kosher to just screw down the muzzle break with a crush washer and call it good?
