A carbine is a type of rifle.
Thread count is a textile term. however The pro carbine has A5 barrel threads.
The barrel length of the M4A1 carbine is 14.5 inches. Legally, it would be considered a short-barreled rifle by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives).
It depends.. if you have a carbine length barrel and will be using it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then yes. If you took it from a rifle with a rifle length barrel, and are putting it on a rifle with a carbine length barrel, then it won't function properly.

Stainless is harder.
A carbine has a shorter barrel than a standard rifle. I have a Winchester model 70 carbine in 270 win and there isn't really any difference between the 20 inch barrel and that of my Brother in law's standard length 24 inch barrel, performance wise.
Carbine does not actually refer to the bullet but rather the barrel of the rifle. It is a shortened, lighter barrel, which is easier to carry in adverse conditions (forest, scrub, jungle, etc.).
M4 is the carbine- shorter barrel
By definition, a carbine is a short rifle. The standard M-16 has a 20" barrel, while the M-4 has a 16" barrel. A number of US Rifles have had carbine versions, with the notable exceptions being the M-1903 and the Rifle, .30 M-1.
While similar in appearance to the military M1 Carbine, the Universal brand carbine may or may not share parts with those. They are considered to be of lesser quality than the military carbine, and prices are about half of the GI Carbine.
Yes there is 30-30 cal, 20" barrel. I have one.
