I'll be heading to the range later this week (weather permitting) to put several hundred rounds through it and see if it stays put. If this doesn't work, some sort of barrel vise will be needed.

It is possible that they haven't heard about it. The only people who will notice the problem are the people who take the time to purchase/make a BBL nut tool. And if you have that there is no need to send it to S&W for service.
