Does the F10FCPK the law enforcement 223 still have the barrel nut.
picture on the website is a little deceiving. can't tell if it does or not....
i see the post the guy selling them. i'd say pictures pictures pictures....
IT has the new spooth barrel nut.
Very difficult to remove even using the SSS tool.

It ha been my experience that heat must be applied. I have had to cut the nut off before.

Hi I just use a pair of vise grips or a pipe wrench and don't even try to save it, for the price of that wrench you can buy several replacement nuts
Thanks Dean
Can you use a regular nut in place of the smooth one. I know the threads are the same but I am wondering about if the Accustock has clearance for a regular nut? If so, anyone know why they went with the smooth nut?

Hi yes you can that is what I was refering to.
Thanks Dean
It is the same nut with out the splines.
What tool does Savage use to install the smooth barrel nut?
I think they switched to the new nut for two reasons:
1. Aesthetics (its purtier)
2. Lawyers. They want to make it as difficult as possible to discourage us from barrel-swapping. Also this would possibly cause people to buy more complete rifles, rather than just swap barrels.
OK, that's three reasons..
You left out the main reason....smooth nuts are cheaper.
PIPE WRENCH IT.
That would be the tool in the picture above your post.Quote:

The smooth barrel nut is a solution looking for a problem. I say wear your nuts proudly, for everyone to see. For me at least, the nut is part of why I like the Savage, not something I need to get rid of or hide.
Pipe wrench it off, toss it and get a regular nut.
I'm with ya, man! No nutless rifles for me!Quote:
