The old CM barrle nut fits on the SS barrel fine. I went through and cleaned out the threads on the action about 1/4 of the way down. Still only goes 1/4 turn in then stops. Will pick up some solvent, but was planning on picking up a gun or two tomorrow so I may take this with me and see if they can work on it.
Thanks for all the ideas. Keep em coming if you got it. I hate giving up on stuff.
