I noticed that when I used a metric thread file to fit rework the threads to fit the MetalTech RAS on the M16, I could still re-install the factory PTW barrel nut. I think what I ended up doing doing was taking the threads down enough so that either would fit, but not perhaps as good of a thread "mesh" as if I used an Imperial barrel nut on a receiver with Imperial threads. But either one holds up solid.

That sucks about the Madbull, but at least I've already altered the threads so I could fit it anyways.
