Product Description
Barrel nuts are an often overlooked necessity of the home-shop rifle assembler. We at PVA strive to produce the finest rifle barrels available anywhere on the market for every action. Since a solid barrel needs a well made, true nut to lock it onto the receiver we decided it was time to make one. All of our barrel nuts are machined from solid bar stock in a multi-process machining center so that they come off the machine complete. The mating surface and thread axis are as true as a laser-aligned, CNC machine can make them. Basically, they're perfect.
Our barrel nuts do not require special tools or proprietary wrenches (that always seem to cost more than the barrel nut itself). These nuts use any crescent wrench to tighten them up. This minimizes the chances of scratching the barrel finish by sliding a wrench over the barrel onto the nut as well as providing substantially larger contact areas on the nut to reduce the chance of damaging the nut during installation/removal.
We cover all the popular sizes of barrel tenon thread patterns for shooters that like to do their own gunsmithing and armorer's work at home.
Recommended installation torque is 45-60ftlbs.
Users MUST take care to be sure the barrel tenon threads are free of dirt and debris as well as being well lubricated prior to assembly.
We use and recommend any of the following thread lubricants for this product:
Anti-Sieze products either copper or nickel based.
Lubriplate 130-A grease (commonly known as M1A grease)
Others are avaiable and functional but we know these products to work well.
