Pro-Carbine/A-5 barrel question

[Novan_Leon]

I'm having trouble finding a 14' Smart Parts All-American for a Pro/Carbine and I was curious...

I've heard that the Pro/Carbine and the A-5 use the same barrel threads, does that mean I can use an A-5 barrel on my Pro/Carbine?

Well yea if the threads the same...

[Novan_Leon]

The problem is I've also heard that the A-5 comes with a barrel adaptor that lets you use a Pro/Carbine or Prolite barrel on your A-5, but that it doesn't necessarily work the other way around (you can't use an A-5 barrel on a Pro/Carbine).

I'd like to know for sure whether you can use an A-5 barrel on a Pro/Carbine before I spend $75.00 on an A-5 barrel that I can't use.

how about buy a new gun that isn't so much in the shadows barrel and upgrades wise...not that there are upgrades...not saying the gun sucks or anything but ahh yea....my m98........

a5 and carbine threads are the same. You just gotta make sure the barrel will fit through your foregrip. , you can always just cut the forgrip off or sand the back of the barrel to fit if u really wanted too.

wouldn't that make sense? I'm guessing yes, but wouldn't that also mean that the Pro Carbine could also take the A-5's flatline?:eyes: correct me if i'm wrong

[Novan_Leon]

The A-5 doesn't have its own unique barrel threads, it has a built in barrel adaptor system. The barrel adaptor that the A-5 comes with uses the Pro/Carbine/Prolite type threads.

The Pro/Carbine wouldn't be able to take the A-5 flatline because the A-5's flatline uses the A-5's barrel adaptor's threads, and not the actual barrel threads.

What I'm assuming is when you buy an A-5 barrel your actually buying a barrel with Pro/Carbine/Prolite threads, the type A-5's default barrel adaptor accepts.

Am I right?
