Remage setup

Zxthinger

Has anyone here read up on the remage concept or even give. It a go here. It's basically a prechambered (fully chambered) barrel which is fitted using a variable shoulder in the form of a barrel nut.

The savage 112 (FTR 12? not sure of name) comes straight form savage with this style of barrel fitted.
You can chance barrels but you need a barrel vice and an action wrench and go & no-go gauges to set her up.

The remage is 'take' on Savage's idea but it comes with Remington sized threads.


I have read a few reports of barrel nuts moving

Any one any thoughts about it.

Just another word for switch barrel system is it not?

I removed my barrel nut from my Savage. Too much hassle when fitting a barrel. I went for either a gunsmith timed barrel or if i wanted to run switch system i could change myself i got the barrel shouldered.

Can you elaborate more on that please ?

How then does the barrel retain itself in the action and how do you maintain correct headspace ?

Hi CASS

Did you ever hear of any harmonic issues with savages using a barrel nut?

Answer the two of these together.

I removed the barrel nut after the first rebarreling. I tried using the nut again for the first barrel but the nut simply complicated the "easy" part of an easy switch/install. After torquing the barrel and then the nut the nut would cause some movement of the barrel and effect the alignment of the barrel (actually the bore) or the go/no go gauge.

Every barrel since was either threaded directly for the action with no nut, or a couple had shoulders which meant i could change barrels myself and the gunsmith timed them to perfection so when they were torqued the shoulder would "meet" the face of the action and be perfectly fitted.

As for problems with harmonics, no, none. Not from the original barrel or the second one.
