[QUOTE="reubenski, post: 1500558, member: 36515"] I have 2 of those. The first I headspaced myself and applied loctite. Then I took it in to my gunsmith and he put in the set screw and cut the muzzle flats. The second barrel he just did all of it. I just had him do it bc he had to cut the machine flats anyway. I don't think it would be difficult to do yourself. Loctite it, then set it into a jig under a drill press, tap and thread the hole, and apply the set screw with loctite. The screw does go into the threads. I don't think it would permanently bigger them up. I'm sure you could wrench the nut off and clean up the threads with a file. But once you have the headspace fixed I don't see why you'd want to. [/QUOTE]
