[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 426406, member: 4191"] You're not really explaining how the nut on the Savage adds any advantages by talking about longer barrels versus shorter barrels. I'm an engineer by training and profession. If I can't understand your arguments and rationale, do you think the majority of this Forum's members will? Several times you've drifted off-subject to include other examples that have nothing to do with the use of the Savage-style nut versus the threaded barrel tenon screwed in until the shoulder on the barrel is brought up snug against the face of the action. Try as I might, I don't understand any advantage, whether you employ finite element analysis or finite differences analysis. The tenon threads will stretch under tension whether the shoulder on the barrel generates that tension force off the face of the action, or whether a barrel nut engaged in threads on threads of the barrel generate the tension force against the face of the action. Six to half a dozen. Same thing. Same difference. No difference. You add the barrel nut and now the threads and face of the barrel nut also have to be cut true to the threads on the barrel tenon and the mating face of the action. If this is done, I don't see why a barrel nut would necessarily be worse than going without the barrel nut. But it simply adds another machining step to the process of accurately fitting a barrel to an action, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
