The flashsuppressors on the two firearms you mentioned are not interchangable. Do you need further assistance?

Yes, I am actually looking for the actual thread patterns for both rifles. 1/2-xx or whatever the actual threads might be.

The reason I'm asking is that I am thinking about having my Rem 700 VS (.223) threaded for a flash suppressor and am going back and forth between the M1A and AR-15 flash suppressors. Any thoughts???

As Tuukka said 1/2x28 for the AR.

Yep, I'd have barrel turned down and threaded for AR-type suppressor, and use either a Smith Enterprises Vortex (first choice) or a Phantom. Both available from Bushmaster.

While we are on the subject, is it legal for me to attach a flash suppressor to my rem 700 varmit rifle?

BTW, the Vortex has spiral flutes which I think have a relation to the direction of twist of the barrel i.e. right-hand twist, or left-hand twist. Go to [url]www.smithenterprise.com/[/url] if you have questions about this . If the Rem bbl and the AR bbl both have same direction of twist, I would assume no prob. Hope this helps.

I'm not a lawyer, so you should check with one to be sure. IMHO as long as barrel exceeds minimum statutory length, flash suppressor on bolt action is OK.

The flash hider on an M14 is splined. This wouldn't be the hot setup on a heavy varmint BBL.(ie-threaded and splined) Also USGI M14 FH's sell for $100.00. If you want the look use a L1A1 FH. They are 9/16-24RH and cost about $10.00. Also check out Brownell's selection of muzzle brakes for varmint BBL's.
