These are shouldered. They will require a nut and it is advised to check headspacing with go and no-go gauges.

If they’re shouldered why do you need a barrel but? I run my Carbon proof barrels without a nut???

These are pre-fit Zermatt Arms shouldered barrels for the TL3/SR3. The barrels are specific to the action type/length and are not interchangeable, but Proof makes installation easy on these by just threading it on, torque it down, double check headspace and you should be good to go.
