[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 1424130, member: 6705"] Actually it is a very common issue that you can fix yourself. The barrel threads are cut correctly, they just have sharp peaks that need to be knocked down. It's very easy to do with a light touch with a flat file or a piece of emery cloth. It happens because the action and nut are cut with a tool that has a very slight radius at the point. The radius is more or less depending on the wear on the tool used to cut the threads. Once you knock the peaks down just a touch, the threads will have full engagement. [/QUOTE]
