I generally dislike barrel nut installed rifles (i.e. savage, Ruger American). They work, but are ugly as sin. That being said, it takes very little effort for a properly equipped gunsmith to spin that barrel off, mount it between centers on their lathe and turn that diameter down a bit. And then all that is needed for reinstallation is headspace gauges.
It's less of a job than it would be doing the same thing on a rem700 or the like.
The only issue with the barrel band is that the barrel tapers up to form the shoulder for the flash hider.
