Does anyone know if the new AR-style rifles use the same barrel shank/threading? i.e. can you swap a standard shank barrel for an AR barrel?

The standard tenon on an AR-15 is .812-16 tpi x .620.

What do you mean by "new style"? Didn't know any thing changed.

Nothing new about AR's. What's new is that Savage is making them.

I was selling a 10/110 barrel and the buyer wanted to know if it would fit the DPMS. At first I did not know what he was talking about, then it dawned on me... Savage's AR-15's that just came out.

To answer his question, "No, it won't work on the AR."

Not to mention it does not have a gas port or a fit for a gas block.

Now I am feelin downright foolish!

The guy asked if it would fit, not whether it would work.
