I know! I can't stand them on a dedicated rifle but you swayed me towards them for testing wildcats due to the fact I can spin a barrel up in a couple of minutes instead of all the trips to the gunsmith swapping out and chambering barrels on my Rem700's.
you need to get yourself a lathe.

I'm giving it some serious thought. It's all as simple as it gets. The only guys that complicate it are the guys getting paid to fit a barrel. It's like throwing a AR together, a monkey can do it.

the tooling to go along with it is the spendy part :twocents:
What isn't "Spendy"? It's only money, a guy makes it every day. :)

10 years ago everybody complained about the barrel nut on Savages. Now everybody's doing it!i know, and i can't see what the big deal is? when i was less knowledgeable about firearms i never even noticed that there was a nut on them.

Personally, I hate how they look but they do make a lot of sense and they obviously work well. I once said no way in he11 would I ever own a gun with a fugly barrel nut but I'd be lying if I didn't admit I've considered doing one on a Remington 700. It'd sure make things a lot easier, that's for sure.

:yeah: exactly my thoughts. Trying to decide if I will stare at that nut everytime I pick up that Vanguard with a howage barrel.. Hehe.
