I have considered putting a free float tube AR style handguard on my carbon fiber rifle. Has anyone removed the factory barrel nut? Is it the same threads? It is easy to remove?

Sorry, no way.  The barrel nut on the carbon weapon is much larger than the mil-spec unit, the threads are different also, and the nut itself is aluminum, with a odd size pin wrench requirement, you may get it off with some ingenuity, but I don't see how you would attach a free floating tube.
