The barrel nut on the 12FV I plan to barrel swap has a smooth barrel nut. My 22-250 12FV purchased earlier this year is the notched type though. I know Wheeler makes a round nut wrench, and I have read of some using a pipe wrench to remove it as well. I also read of someone putting their rifle barrel in a vise and unscrewing the receiver away from the smooth barrel nut. Any suggestions on the best approach to that?

If I order a barrel, I figured I would try Northland Shooters Supply. From those that used them, how long did it take to receive their barrels? I will most likely request to have my muzzle threaded, so I know that most certainly will add some extra wait time.
