I just received my new Model16 FHSS in 300 savage, and I want to switch the barrel to the 250 Savage barrel that I just purchased.

For now, I'm going to keep it in the the Accu-Stock that came with the rifle. This rifle uses the new smooth barrel nut, and I'm wondering if I can just remove it with a pipe wrench and replace it with the grooved nut, without modifying the aluminum frame in the stock? Or, should I keep the smooth nut and get the smooth nut wrench from SSS?

I thought I'd check with those who have experience with the Accu-Stock.

Also, this Accu-Stock has the "wedge", and I may just leave it out when I put the stock back on the rifle. This was recommended on another thread.

Thanks in advance.
