Milling out slot for scope base on NSS action wrench

It could be some of the blueing chemicals getting them stuck, but I see no reason to have them that tight.

There are no bluing salts on a stainless assembly, yet they're still Mongo tight. My guess is that long before the switch barrel game was played on a large scale, Savage developed an SOP for barrel nut torque specs and it's never been updated. The last thing they would have wanted was for someone's barrel to loosen up to the point of having unsafe headspace riding around on the floor of their crummy.

That sounds plausible, thanks.

Sorry if I derailed your thread, Missed...I did not intend to!
