tthanks Dusty, that's probably what I will end up doing. I am wanting to use ruger precision barrels on an ruger American, hence the need for a nut.Any gunsmith can make you one in short order. @Stan Taylor can chamber you a prefit right now with no wait
I'm taking one of the ruger Americans with the ar15 mags and making it essentially into a ruger precision. I've got a white oak tube handguard to put on it and chassis from indian creek. Only thing missing is the right nut and a new barrel.Any reason you can't use the one from the old barrel? Assuming you're replacing a barrel, of course.
Just found this also:
Rpr uses an ar15 barrel nut thread I believe
I put Ar15 match handguard on one for prone competition
Iirc they are, I want to say we used a WOA match rifle handguArd/ float tubeI know the external dimensions are the same as AR15 because you can also use an AR14 armorers wrench on it. I’m not sure if the threads are the same or not, but it could be.
