Ruger Precision barrel extension?

Here is a print for the tenon.
Thank you very much for the drawing I had not seen the dimensions of the tenon.
Somewhere on the internet I had read that the RPR used a barrel extension similar to the AR rifles. After looking at Ruger's drawing it appears it just uses a barrel nut not a barrel extension. It looks like the receiver locking lugs are machined into the receiver.
Since it utilizes a barrel nut I am not sure what purpose the shoulder serves. Guess I need to take it apart and see unless someone has some pictures of the disassembled rifle they would like to share.
 
The barrel doesn't have an extention like on the AR. Ruger machines a band on the barrel as a stop for the handguard nut. When you remove the barrel nut it moves clockwise away from the receiver face to release tension on the receiver. You can then spin the action off the threads. Really is quite deceiving until you pull one. You can see the threads and "barrel band" clearly in my photos.
