So I'm on the verge of buying an Armalite m15 and wanted to whether or not a specific model has a threaded barrel or not.  The gun in question is a m15A4CBA2K which is M15 with a flat top and an A2 front sight.  On the Armalite website every other rifle in their M15 line lists them as having a threaded barrel at 1/2 28. Unfortunately on this model that factoid is absent.  When I checked the parts section the barrels that came with an A2 sight were listed as threaded as well.  So to make a long question longer does anyone know if the M15A4CBA2K does indeed come with a threaded barrel and to ask a noob question that does mean I can remove the flash suppressor and use a different model right?  Thanks in advance!

It should be. All are threaded coming out new since 2005 unless it is there target model which has nothing on the end of the barrel.

^ This. The only ones I've seen that aren't threaded are the target models.

You might want to get your hands on an Armalite m15 before you buy one.  I purchased an Armalite AR-15 in 1999 and I gotta say I have noticed that the gun just hasn't held up like I thought it would have.  The metal seems softer and has some nasty gouges and scratches.  I have treated this gun fairly carefully since owning it and it just isn't as tough as my Colt that I was used to when I was in the Army.  Early this year I purchased a Colt and there is no comparison between the two!  The Colt is a much better gun in my opinion.

Maybe Armalite has improved on quality in the past 10 years, but if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't have bought the Armalite.  Now with that being said I have a couple of buddies that have Armalite AR-10s and they love 'em, so maybe the lack of quality isn't the company but the model.

Good luck

If its a new ArmaLite and has a flash suppresser its standard threads.

As for ArmaLite quality, I got one last year and its a fine rifle. It compares well with my RRAs and others I own and have used. My, at least, has been flawless and I am very fond of it. Some just have to have a Colt or whatever. Good for them., everyone should have what suits them.

Don't know about ten years ago but ArmaLite makes a fine rifle today. I just got a U15A4CB upper and it's tough as nails. The flash hider is threaded so you can remove it.
