[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 423400, member: 2736"] I will have to contradict the 25% thread contact because If a smith does his job right the thread contact is almost 100% . I have cut threads that could not be made up by hand and then simply chased the threads without changing the compound settings and it would make up although tight and with no slack or movement. If the tool has the proper angle and pitch it can be fitted to any reciever nearly perfect. The reason you stated , is the very reason dont like the barrel nut system. It is a cost saving method and to assemble a rifle with this system all you need is an trained operator/assembler and not a gun smith. A rifle that has a shouldered barrel has to be set up by a smith and head spaced before assembly. There is nothing realy wrong with the system its is just not precise enough to suit me and I'm sure others. So no mater what system is used 25% thread engagement is not enough. If I do a savage with the nut I will always get 95%+ thread fit between the barrel and the receiver before the nut is installed I will redo it. This is not an attack just my opinion.
