Impossible.
The OD of an AR15's barrel threads is 0.830" (with the barrel extension removed). The ID of a Rem700 action at the threads is 1.063"
An AR barrel is too narrow to touch the insides of a 700 action.
Even if you chopped off the barrel's threads and started again there would not be enough meat on the barrel to work. Plus the cost of all this would be more than just buying a new barrel blank.
