Correct....the major diameter of the threads alone is 1-1/16"

Thanks all for the heads up glad I didn't commit on the barrel

You could use a barrel nut

The barrel is for a Savage with the nut.

Remington actions are 1.0625 x 16tpi. Some Savage actions use a 1.055 major diameter and they are all 20tpi as far as I know. You might want to double check on the dimensions of that barrel.Hope that helps

Whoever does your barrel work should be able to make a nut. The OD is only under by .0025” which is still in spec. for class 3A. Having a little extra clearance for the Crest Flat on SS/SS contact would hold a little extra lube .

If the barrel is for a savage it will be 20tpi and the Rem action is going to be 16tpi that is the problem. Being its a real good deal I would double check what the dimensions are on that barrel

It’s still a contoured blank until it’s threaded. The original post makes no mention of the current threads cut on the barrel

Sorry you're right , assumed it was a chambered barrel. I will shut up now.

Assuming it's a blank that's not threaded or chambered, you can have it threaded for the Remington threads and use a Savage style barrel nut. A few companies call it the Remage system combining Remington/ Savage system styles. 1 1/16" I believe IS 1.06 so it just may work. Obviously a gunsmith would be your go to person for this measurement
