Sorry, no. I had/have a picture of the rifle, with the bolts and the barrels, but cannot post that here.
I am merely aware that others have used the Savage "system" on other actions, Remington and Mauser.
There is an outfit in Texas which sells ready-made barrels for Savage rifles, along with the barrel nuts, but I do not remember the name of it.
I just Googled it and there are a lot of outfits int he States who sell ready to install barrels for Savages along with the barrel nuts. Here's a list of them.
For headspacing, a ctg. is used, Wind the barrel on, insert a ctg. and bolt, then when the barrel locks up with 0 headspace on that ctg. set the barrel nut against the front of the action and lock it. done.

Here is one of them, showing the long threads as well as the barrel nut below by scrolling down their page.
They also sell barrel nuts for Remington 700 actions, but not Mausers. Because the Mausers actually bottom against the inner shoulder, perhaps this system would not be as 'easy', however properly butted
with only 35 pounds force, the barrels would still be easily 'broken' free, however an action wrench would be needed. With the Savage no shoulder system, once the nut is 'cracked' the barrel is free to turn.
