I know its at least pinned, and possibly welded....
I need the answer to this one too. Are Armalites threaded under that hideous brake? |

Pre-2003 rifles are threaded, pinned and welded. 2003/2004 rifles have a pressed on and pinned brake as I understand it.
I removed the brake on an older Armalite AR15... milled the brake away to expose the pin, removed it, then cut the brake on opposite ends to release it. It was threaded on to tight to simply unscrew. |

Where on brake is the pin? On bottom?
Nevermind, found an Armalite post on this. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=62&t=201539 I assume this applies to the AR15 models, too. |

What i am hearing then is that the barrel on my AR-15 is not threaded. The brake is pressed on. Perhaps i am in denial. But would you kindly concurr? The way the bolt side of the brake is flattened on both sides makes me optimistic that perhaps it is threaded, in that it was made as such to accomodate a wrench.

I used the split and pry method...worked perfectly. Of course I had an older barrel with the pin on the bottom going straight up into the bottom of the barrel. It was a 1/4" size dot rather than the pin running out both sides of the brake. Check this, it might be helpful. ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=62&t=201048 Good Luck |
