So I've seen AEM5/OCM5 can on bolt actions and I've seen the taper and threads cut into the barrel so that no muzzle device was needed. Does anyone have the measurements and thread pitch needed to cut the mount directly into the profile of the barrel?

Look around in the gunsmith section. There was another thread on this at some point recently.
I found it. Maybe this would help a little

Gunsmithing - Anyone have AEM5/OCM-5 Barrel dimensions for gunsmithing?
Charlie's Customs has the dimensions to spin down an AR-15 barrel and add a collar, but I need the dimensions to spin down my bolt gun barrel and just add the 20' taper. I found them for the 308 Ops Inc cans, so the only difference may be the 0.725" dimension after the taper on the 556 can vs...
www.snipershide.com I saw this post. While it does mention the taper angle but it doesn't mention the thread pitch of the AEMB or the distance of the taper to the start of the treads. I was hoping some on here had actually done one and knew the exact information.Look around in the gunsmith section. There was another thread on this at some point recently.

I realize that is the other option.... Just figured I'd not bother the man and check here first. Kinda one of the purposes of forums like these.
That's for the AE30.... Different suppressor and wouldn't have a gunsmith make cut off just an assumption. I'm willing to bet you never done this there for have nothing to contribute.
I'm looking for information from someone who has actually done this or has the print/specs from some who has.
Call Mike Lau at Texas Brigade Armory. He’s built m24 A2s using the Ops Inc 3rd model which threads on otb. Im sure he can do the same for the AEM5.
If not, Chad Dixon at LRI who can pretty much do anything on/to a rifle as long as it doesn’t violate the laws of physics.
The AE30 print IS the print to mount the AEM5 without a collar you fucking jackass. The threads on the outside of the brake would then occupy the area of the muzzle thread. You’re a moron; God bless.
M24 reflexes a full 2” more than the AEM5 or thereabouts.
I would be a moron if I took your word as fact. Not saying your wrong but I am saying I'm not looking for an opinion from a gun forum know-it-all that uses "thereabouts' as a measurement. I'm looking for information from someone that knows what they are talking about from experience and you are obviously not him. You can move on now.
The 5/8x24 to M22x1.0 is what you would change on the print. If you leave the barrel diameter forward of the taper at 0.850 you should be fine since the M22x1.0 threaded muzzle would be larger in diameter (22mm or roughly 0.866 inches). You can step down to the 0.725 or so if you want to more closely match the MK12 SPR barrel contour.

bringing this back up.... is the internal thread of the AEm5 actually the m22x1.0 metric thread? why did i think it was 1/2x28? i guess to keep someone from threading it on a skinny barrel with the 1/2x28 thread and no rear collar support.
You were probably thinking of the muzzle brake in the 2 piece system (muzzle brake + collar) that normally threads onto a 1/2x28 threaded barrel. That brake has outside threads that are M22x1.0 which the suppressor itself screws onto. When you cut the directly onto the barrel, you can forego the muzzle device and collar.
2 piece setup -
Machined shoulder for collar → Rear Tapered collar → muzzle thread 1/2x28 or 5/8x24 → muzzle device 1/2x28/M22x1.0 or 5/8x24/M22x1.0 (internal thread/external thread) → AEM/OCM Silencer
Cut direct onto barrel -
Machined Rear Taper → muzzle thread M22x1.0 → AEM/OCM silencer

Ryan Beck of Base Camp Customs did a custom CNC program for mine to maximize barrel length. I'd highly recommend him
Yeah you hooked me up with him. Had it in the works since last year. Just was looking at the spec right now
Jzerfoss, Can you tell me barrel profile and length at the m22 threads?
After or before the m22 threads? From the taper to the start of the threads is 1.906" long and .862" diameter. The end of the threads to the muzzle is 1.3" long and .81" diameter.
Got it, thanks. MTU barrel profile?
Heavy Varmint. MTU and M24 would work and Heavy Palma might work.
Remington sendero will work at about 18.5" finish length. if it was longer it might not
