We recently received a cool rifle from Sleipnir The Horse and I wanted to go over it with yall.

A blend between the AEM5 and the AEM3, the AEM5K features an A-length mount and the shorter AEM3 baffles. This configuration offers a simple swap from a longer A-length can using the same hardware while only being slightly longer than an AEM3. Differences in sound and flash performance between the AEM3 and AEM5K are negligible. While this longer mount does prevent it from being used on as many hosts as the AEM3, the simplicity of swapping between the two is attractive for many people who have only one host but may use a different suppressor for different applications.
While our warranty policy covers pretty much anything, having to go without your can while we repair it can still be frustrating. A little due diligence before shooting the first time can go a long way in making sure your experience is fun and problem free.
So you are wanting to buy an Allen Engineering suppressor but dont know where to start? There is a lot to learn about the OPS/AE ecosystem, from its long history to technical knowledge. Hopefully this helps get you started with understanding AE suppressors so you can enjoy their performance.
One of the complexities of Allen Engineering suppressors are the various mounting styles. While all AE suppressors are reflex, some of them require different mounting lengths.
One of the unique feature of Allen Engineering suppressors is the use of the 2-point mounting system. As the suppressor threads onto the muzzle or muzzle device the rear of the suppressor will push up against a taper and aligns itself.
When shopping for an OPS/AE style brake many people ask, what is the difference between the short and long brakes? Simply, it comes down to how you want to time your muzzle device.
How many turns are required to properly mount your Allen Engineering suppressor? The short answer is 7-10 turns.
You will see an original first section made by Phil Seberger. This first-section is an example of what was used in the early OPS INC suppressors.
Introducing the Allegheny Arms Gas Block. This project simplifies the OPS/AE mounting system by combining the collar and gas block into one piece. This helps create the shortest mounting configuration possible with Allen Engineering suppressors.
