Well I found a barrel nut option. Bugholes.com has "bug nuts" and it's probably the way I'll go. It's basically a shouldered barrel using the nut to set final head spacing.

The main reason I wanted to open the action threads was to utilize large shanks for magnum chamberings. It seemed like Remage barrels were held to basically the same no .550 cases in the smaller tenon sizes.
