[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 581315, member: 26019"] I have seen this happen on different Rifles, On A Savage my first suspicion is that someone did a crescent wrench barrel cleaning, very certain this is one reason for the tapered barrel nut. Another high suspicion is stainless steel itself because of its bur welding habits. Properly tightened fasteners can, will and do come loose and is one reason for a regular and proper inspection! I do not use thread-lock liquids of any kind except on rotating assemblies such as automotive connecting rods. Fasteners that must not come loose are always wired, pinned or staked. Needless to say a careful inspection for splits or cracks is in order before re torquing the Barrel. All in all If I had to testify in court I could give no higher than a 50 percent certainty that the barrel was not properly torqued by the gunsmith. - Just for the sake of conversation. [/QUOTE]
