[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 839965, member: 12995"] If the reciever isn't threaded externally, the only thing the barrel nut is there for is tension to keep the barrel's headspace at 0, instead of putting torque on the recoil lug with the barrel, it's putting torque on the lug with the bolt. That's the only true difference in the 2 methods. I understand that much...But other than the adjustable headspace and lack of a barrel vise, there really is no advantages over the old school way....Am I correct? Personally I think a barrel vise is a necessity when doing a job such as this regardless...It just makes things alot easier. I think my comments might made folks a bit excited...I wasn't criticizing your method, I was just curios why you would go that route. I was thinking you were going with a ferrule-style setup that threaded over the front of the reciever...That was my fault for that one. [/QUOTE]
