So I would assume the other Savage Prefit Barrel I have by McGowen would work just fine? Did you cycle the bolt with both those barrels. There was some mention on another thread about some concerns of the extractor or something when cycling on a Savage prefit that was not made just for the Nucleus.
Nice to hear this dropped into the stock with no inletting needed. I feel confident my RH KRG Bravo with LH Whiskey Tango backbone is going to work like a charm. Just need to notch the bolt handle in the composite and should be good to go.
Did you get a Timney with the bolt release or without? Not sure if they even offer but I would be curious if that has anything to do with it. I ordered a Jewell trigger without bolt release. Let us know what Timmney says please. Good luck.
Using a Savage prefit should be no different than swapping a barrel on a Savage. A barrel vise I believe will suffice and a receiver tool is probably not necessary. @Jon_ARC , Jon can shed some light I’m sure.
I think you need the action wrench if you’re running a shouldered Barrel, if your running a Savage prefit style then you don’t need as I understand but I could be mistaken. The Barloc for Savage Prefit type comes with a barrel nut.
As we discussed the other day and it will be “well worth the wait.” I have everything sitting here. PVA 6.5 Creed Barrel, Jewel trigger, KRG stock, ARC 35 mm rings, Vortex Razor 5-20, Surge Razor Supressor paid and waiting for approval.
