Buying Savage barrel lock nuts

[Dave in WI]

Where is suggested place to buy Savage small shank barrel lock nuts? Just for replacing the smooth factory nut when spinning a barrel off to thread muzzle. I'm guessing I don't need precision ground, etc.

Google Northland Shooters; they have been handling nuts, recoil lugs, barrels, etc for years with excellent service.

My dumb question... why would you need to replace it?

Smooth nut to be replaced with one grooved for wrench.

Aha.
I fiddle with Savages on occasion. I bought the Wheeler wrench setup from Midway, it came with wrenches for both grooved, and smooth.

most use a pipe wrench then replace the smoothie with one that can be used with a wrench for the next time.

Seems like an easy thing to make.....like a scope ring design.....one inch thick flat and 4, 1/4" allen head screws

GenePoole, I think Steve Ladino was talking about the wrench.
I spoke with NSS and have parts on the way.

No , rather the tool for the smooth surface nut I meant or actually for either

Smooth nuts are a pain.

 

[GenePoole]

Ah. Makes sense now.

Less for aesthetics, for me, and more for the combination of a surface ground recoil lug (which NSS also sells) and their precision machined nut, which together tend to 'point' straighter. Doesn't necessarily shoot any better, but a lot less headaches when it comes to mounting scopes.
