[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1270778, member: 4566"] Friendly question as I hear this from a lot of people. WHY do you hate the barrel nut design? Ugly? Don't have to spend $ with a gunsmith to swap a barrel? You can adjust headspace AFTER barrel install? Too easy to swap calibers or even run switchbarrel rigs? Too fast to assemble? I can swap a nut barrel in about 4 minutes. Stud versus bolt/nut juncture superiority? Increased effective tenon length? I have had a lot of conversations in person with guys who hate the NUT but never have gotten a real good explanation other than some references to stud superiority which I find to be a little hard to believe since any rig with a recoil lug the interface essentially functions as a nut/bolt versus a stud anyway. I wonder if it isn't just mainly UGLY and BRAND LOYALTY I'm not loyal to the Savage brand, now that the Remage system is being served by some barrel makers I will probably move to a Remmy footprint for stock availability, though I'm not a fan of action screw location. I am LOYAL to the NUT though. Once I retire and have a lathe in my garage I may change but until then I will be building 3X the number of rigs I could afford without a NUT. And please keep in mind most of us don't have a machinist buddy who will build a rifle for peanuts and have it done in 2 weeks. That is an ANOMALY not an AVERAGE. Curious as to the HATE is all. I don't HATE Remmy's, Rugers or Winny's, just don't like being tied into a certain caliber or having to rely on someone other than myself to work on one. Thanks in advance for your reply [/QUOTE]
