Hello all!!
So I nailed my biggest buck ever up in northern Maine this year with my AR15 in 50Beowulf. I decided to wort of retire that gun as I want to build something interesting again, which you can tell I like. I built a semi custom Howa 25-06 a few yrs back and like bolt guns. So now I decided to build a Savage gun and am thinking of either a 6.5mm as I have a ton of bullets in that cal, or I am swaying more towards a 338Federal for some reason. I am going to buy a Model 10 donor rifle in 308 and I just bought the barrel wrenches from Wheeler Engineering, so have both slotted and smooth nut capabilities. Can't wait to get this rolling but need to sell a gun or two to finance the project. Glad this site is here to answer all my questions!! One quick one, if I have a smooth barrel nut but I WANT a slotted barrel nut, are they interchangeable? Can I just buy a slotted one and use it?
Thanks all!

Oh, I build custom furniture and custom knives for a living. I don't make the blades, but I do the handles and sheaths.
