I've got a Bill Clinton special Colt (shut up, I know), Match Target. I wanna send the upper to ADCO or ar15barrels and get the muzzle end threaded for an evil Flash Hider. But I'm not sure there's enough metal down there to thread--It looks like Colt took too much off in the first place. Anyone have one like this threaded???? This is not an HBAR it's a skinny 1/7 5.56.

Typically when it is a lightweight they leave material as a base for the FH to press against. I have not see the special bushing that uxb talks of but what he is describing if made would do the trick. One last thing do any of the BILL CLINTON models shoot moa or do they all shoot backwards.

Randall at www.AR15barrels.com is an expert at threading LW barrels. The bushing he makes does the trick very well. Photos of his work: Bushy LW cut down to 14.7 using a full round bushing:  Bushy 16" LW with a special bushing (with flats to allow a wrench to hold it easily): |
