Not sure what you are talking about when you say T nut if you are asking the forend screw size they are 10/32 I guess you may be calling the round dove tail bracket that slides into barrel a t nut but I think they are called top hats.

TC calls it a "dovetail lock".  The tophat bushing is on the old style forends.
