Just finishing up on my first build. Got a Shilen 30-06 Match Barrel, a squared nut, an SSS recoil lug, and a new trigger spring, all from Northland. This is the first time I've attempted this on a Savage rifle but it was pretty easy. The hardest thing was removing the smooth barrel nut, but once it was off the rest was easy. I put a little anti-seize on the barrel, nut, and action. Was this the thing to do ? I also headspaced it with a fired case I resized in my FL die and filled with epoxy and let dry. It will chamber with 1 layer of scotch tape but is pretty hard. Bolt will not close on 2 layers of tape at all. Does this sound about right ? Also how much torque is needed on the barrel nut ? Thanks to all. Without this Forum I might have never tried it. Everybody look south. Gonna light it up tomorrow possibly.
