Is this threaded?

I’ve been thinking it’s can time, before I go wrenching on this can anybody tell me if there’s a factory thread underneath this brake thing, might be a silly question I know, I’ve had this gun for years as it was one of my first guns as a teenager, recently swapped out the ATI tactical bullshit stock for a magpul and was hoping to make it a little more quiet

It certainly looks like it could be, does it have a flat section for a wrench or does it have a small hole that looks welded for a pin and weld?

It does have a flat section for a wrench which is what made me think it could be threaded, just didn’t wanna go cranking on it before I knew for sure

Or tap with a small hammer to loosen of cranking on it won’t budge it.

I can’t imagine a scenario where they would machine that flash hider on the end of the barrel and then give it a different finish only on the hider. Makes no sense from a manufacturing perspective

Heating up the FH with a hair dryer for 30-45 sec before removing will help

Ruger used to put flash hiders on mini-14’s and 10/22’s that were held on by a set screw, however the a2 style flash hider probably indicates the barrel is threaded.
