I just ordered a new Model 16 left-handed Accustock in .243W and it should delivered in a few days. I've owned other Model 110 variations including currently an Accutrigger Model 16 in 7 mm-08 but this will be my first Accustock action and stock experience so I have a few questions:

1. SSS offers a barrel nut wrench for the new design smooth nut. How well do these work? I assume the older style action wrench still works, does it?
2. I believe a barrel from an older action will fit the new action (same shank size of course) right?
3. Do the current wood or laminated wood stocked Savage (say the Model 14 as an example) rifles use the "Accustock" action even if they don't have the aluminum bedding channel?
4. Are there aftermarket recoil lugs for the Accustock actions like there were for the older design?
5. I've seen the "sticky" describing how to install and torque the Accustock action but are there any other tricks I should know?

Thanks for any help.
