Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Savage110 barrel nut question.....

That needs to be fixed. You can buy the nut itself for about $12 from Midway, any gunsmith should be able to install it. A lot of savage enthusiasts have the tools and could do it in a couple of minutes. I wouldn't just let it ride, the barrel could loosen causing the headspace to change and cause an unsafe condition.
