I recently bought a barrel from E.A.Brown Co.that was on sale. It's the 24in. SS fluted one. Any way went to put a regular barrel nut on and the back of the barrel is too large. I called them and they said only a Hogue handguard would work with it. Told them I wanted to use a different guard and they said I could send the barrel back and that was about it. They didn't know of any body making a standard oversized nut so I'm going to take some out with a lathe...don't think it will need much removed to slide on over the barrel. Will this still be safe to use if torqued to the receiver? It's a .223 by the way.
