Spinning up a Remage barrel?

[SKWERLZ]

Shouldered barrels are fast to install for sure. Of course, like I said you can put a bit of blue loctite on the the very last thread of the nut and once headspaced you have a shouldered barrel.

Funny, my wife and I shoot Kaugers, as do my friends, and Lauren's sons, and I could make shouldered barrels but all of our rifles have the nut. In case I want to change it over to another project rifle that's not a Kauger. Or sell it after testing.

Yep
The Barrel nut setup provides some flexibility.

The gentleman Jackie recommended is local, let me see what he says first. Appreciate the reply.

Tell Pete Hi for me.

I don't find switching shouldered barrels to be any more difficult than nutted ones, mill a couple of flats at the muzzle end for a wrench to spin it off and a witness mark to index it.. "Downside" is obvious in that it's headspaced only for that rifle.

As he said, all about personal preference

Less wait time for a guy like me to do the job
Compared to guys who are FFL's and have 3 month or more waiting periods.
One reason I ended up buying my own equipment a few years back to do my own work besides already having been a machinist....
Was the long Wait time for other gunsmiths backlog, plus none local to me (4 Hour minimum drive)
With just a barrel - No need to log anything or report to ATF for barrel work only
Theres a few benefits to chambering nutted barrels

Definitely the benefits you stated...
For a few (like moi), I just prefer the look of a full diameter barrel shank at the receiver face (and no nut), and the benefit of the mass of a heavy contour (or bull) on my bench rifles. Yes, there are proprietary variations of the common "nut" that sorta get around that, but that's a different discussion. All that said, it's obvious why the majority of DIY'ers go the nutted route, or shouldered prefits for those receivers with the tolerances to accept them- time and money.

yeah, given the choice between the two, I prefer a shouldered barrel too
but the knurled low pro nuts dont look all bad.

And yes I also agree, with you for a switch barrel
2 flats at the end and easy peasey in the field caliber swaps
