The AEM5 barrel weights were fully pardoned by the Guv'nah today. Not any of that new fancy schmancy stuff... like me, this design has been around awhile.Today the delivery "enabler" driver dropped off a box of parts.

Mocked up all the pieces (using the 11.5)... I don't know if I like it yet. I might end up modifying the top rail riser for a backup iron front sight, or get a different one, or just leave it off.

Will try to go visit an AEM5 suppressor, in the Gun Gulag, to test it for clearance. The suppressor should tuck approximately a half inch under the hand-guard. I have a lot of time to get the upper squared away... With the current estimates, both of the AEM5 suppressors won't be released until next year.
Why would anyone want such an outdated setup?....Well, to match the other two.

Back to counting tumbleweeds until my Tax Permission is approved.
I haven't decided how to configure the short one...but it will give me something to tinker with while the rain passes. The middle rifle (16" barrel) balances very well with the suppressor attached.
Edit to add: Kind of interested in adding a AEM5-30 (with an M24 baffle stack)
