    Not an expert on AR platform but I would remove the barrel and have it threaded on a lathe. Its possible to thread it by hand die but I would be real careful not to get it crooked due to the possibltility of bullet strikes on the muzzle device.

    If I'm correct, I believe the bayo lug is on the front sight block which would come off with removing a couple of pins and taping it forward off the barrel.

    That's some good advice. I wonder if anyone here can help me out with this project.

    Front sight bases are not all the same. It's sometimes a PITA to find one that will fit because the pins/pin holes are not the same from gun to gun. Threading the barrel isn't a problem.

    +1 on having BPTactical thread the barrel. I personally could care less about a bayonet lug myself. I think bayonet tactics are a thing of the past. Others may disagree with me. If I was running around with a rifle with a knife hanging off the front I would probably just hurt myself.

    while not functional for my needs. if you want to keep "that look" then you will need to change out the front sight assembly.
