If you have a large shank barrel and a small shank receiver, the barrel nut is just part of the problem. The diameter of the large shank is too large for the small shank receiver. I have had two large shank WSM barrels turned down and re-threaded to fit in the small shank receivers. Took less than half-an-hour and cost me about $25. To me it is better than doing a Remington style because the barrel nut makes switching and head spacing much easier.
