Is there a chart/diagram of all Angel threads (the Barrels) that goes into compatibility with models and the backwards compatibility as well?

I know that Angel Barrel threads from the LED/LCD to the 05 Speed barrel threads were kept at a constant, however from the G7/06 Speed Era we had a change in the threads, then the release of the Angel 1 is said to have had another thread change. I have also heard allot of talk about "spacers" and "inserts" as a matter of compatibility...

What i am wondering is has anyone compiled a comprehensive chart/diagram or can explain the entire history of angel barrel threads, i would like to know for the future and it would be a great thread to have created on the forums so that people who are new to Angel can properly purchase/trade gear.

Thanks to anyone who can help! Cheers!

All Angels upto G7 have old threads. No barrels from newer threads can be used in these.

The following have what they call newer threads.
Speed 06
G7 fly
Gat

A1 uses the same threads as the newer threads speed 06, G7 fly, Gat. But are slightly shorter in overall length of the threads.

You can use the barrels from Speed 06, G7 fly,Gat in the A1's, but will have a couple ofthreads showing(Place ring from A1 kit onto barrel before screwing in).

You can also use A1 barrels on Speed 06, G7 fly, Gat, but will have a small gap where the barrel meets up with the breech.

Awesome! Thanks much appreciated, how about using the ring from the A1 kit in the G7 Fly thread?
