Met the AE team at Ben Avery today. Sharp people and the M24 can was particularly impressive.

I just sent my barrel off to ADCO to get chopped and contoured. Should be perfect timing. |

Can anyone recommend who to send a SCAR20S barrel to for an Ops contour and chop? I would go D. Wilson, but it looks like he's not doing the contouring at the moment.

Buddy is having them chop a 20 barrel for a flush fit with a Surefire can. Not sure why, but it seems like some places don’t want to work on SCARs. |

I had them do a Lilja barrel for a 6.5 Grendel Mk12 Mod-H a few years back and it turned out great. |

I assumed there would be extra cost involved and the “contouring/thread” item from the shop services page was a starting point. Small business is hard enough without having to take a loss in the name of customer satisfaction. The few times I’ve had work done by you over the years it’s always turned out great and was fairly priced. The only thing that would leave me dissatisfied at this point is if you were to decide to stop working on SCARs, making custom collars, contouring barrels, etc. because it isn’t worth it. |

I cut a 16s barrel down a few years ago The thread tool broke midway through a cut and got wedged into the thread and completely wrecked it. That was a new barrel for the customer. Fortunately, he was willing to trade me a NIB short barrel for that one. I was able to sleeve it for usable threads but wouldn't trust it for a suppressor mount. Sold it to a guy with full disclosure for $800. He was happy and I was ok with only losing $500 or so on the job. |

Interesting for sure but I'd rather stick with the Allen Engineering design for the same money or less money. Plus this is an Ops Inc/Allen Engineering thread. |

If I were ordering a barrel that would be contoured for a AE shoulder for my AEM5 so I DON’T have to use a separate collar, would you all suggest a M24 contour?
MTU? Ideas? |

M24 and MTU aren’t too different. Anything with around .850-.900” muzzle should work. You want at least 0.920” or more at the terminus of the 20° taper that starts 2.5” behind the muzzle crown.

Anyone have an aem5-30 or aem5-30k on an M1A variant?
I was thinking about setting up a custom collar to put the can just in front of the gas plug, then have the barrel cut and threaded at the proper location ahead of that for the 30 cal brake to thread on. I'd probably get an adjustable/reduced flow gas valve and use the smith enterprises piece to move the front sight back. Anyone done something similar? anything I'm missing? Thanks. Pic with regular aem5 for reference.

But no 2 places are going to put that same step in the same place and the OD before and after the step will never be the same either. Add to that all the cheap shit barrels that 87% of arfcom buys have bores that are .020 to .050 off center from the bores and it's a nightmare when you install your suppressor.
