yeah, 'thread protector' may be the correct term, I'd just heard 'barrel nut' used in this context in other cases, like "tack-welded barrel nut" on a Draco, stuff like that, which is basically the same thing I have here.
maybe, but I'm not sure where I'd find a jamb nut with the right thread pitch. But, I think almost any washer (or two) would work, but I've already ordered the flash suppressor, with the crush washer they sell, so fingers crossed that it all works OK.
They should be here early next week. Thanks...
I'm considering installing a basic Brownells A2-type flash suppressor on a Savage bolt action 308 (these come threaded w/ barrel nut), and am wondering if I need to get the 5/8 crush washer,too, or if there's any reason I can't just install the suppressor, as is?
thanks....
