Just got an ae mark iii from my friend, but he already put about 3000 rounds through the barrell. I have read some reviews about markiii, some of them said that 3000 rounds just fine(some of them says the tube life could take 10000 rounds:(). However, still looking to buy an extra tube. I have watched an video said that ae tube was different than other ai series, the aw barrell is all the way threaded, for ae, the recoil lug covered area has no thread. So, is it ok to but an aw or ai series barrel?? Thanks all gunners, your answer will help me a lot:):):):):)
 
The answer is yes. Your AE will take AW,AX,AT barrels.
Wolverine Supplies can get you a .308 tube or Insite Arms can apparently get OTM barrels in a few different calibres.
Once I toast my AW barrel I will get an OTM in .260 Rem.

An AE barrel can only be used with the AE because it is not fully threaded due to the recoil lug but will accept the other AI barrels no problem.
8541 Tactical has a youtube video on AE barrel change procedure.
