| I am tired of the loud bark on my A2 and M4 2003 vintage rifles and I am told that the things can be unscrewed and replaced.I want to put Levang Linear ones on both and that thread size is listed as 1/2"x28tpi and others have said in posts Armalites are 5/8"x24tpi.These are after the ban expired guns with bayonet mounts.Does anyone know? If they are that size is it as simple as running a tap/die over the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle with the smaller size required to install the Levang? Any advice or help appreciated as I am not a machinist |
| Thank You TaylorWSO: Looks like you have answered my question of size.I was referencing a .308 caliber in my post instead of the .223 found in my research attempts so now I can order my Levangs.I think they come with the washers also and are listed as a right hand thread,Again thanks |
| Thanks all for the input.I just looked at my boxes they came in and they are made in November and December of 2005 and not 2003 as I previously thought and are those dates of manufacture pinned? I guess I will find out time the Levangs show up in the mail but if so the trouble others had removing the factory ones I will give both to a tool and die gunsmith to do the swap. |
