[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 74156, member: 10"] Reed, Yes the standard lock nut is significantly thicker then the RUM and WSM nut. I have never heard of a problem with the standard lug, ever. Not to say it could not happen if it was over tightened or something like that. I have only heard of a few instances with the RUM barrel nuts but in two of those instances, the rifle was a total loss! For that reason I simply get rid of the potential problem and chamber just as it was a Rem 700 receiver. Certainly not as easy to headspace but not hard in any way either. If you do this though, remember to get a barrel with a shank diameter of 1.250". Do not use the smaller 1.200" shank diameters as they do not offer enough shoulder area in my opinion. They will work but the 1.250" is a better choice all around and most barrel makers offer this diameter. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
