I'm getting ready to install my buffer tube, both the tube and nut came together in the same vacuumed sealed package (Tasco).

The tube (mil spec) screws easily in to the lower, but the nut only goes about 1/4 turn before it gets tight, almost like you would feel when you have a thread mismatch.

I just got the nut tool and am going to install it tonight, so let me know ASAP if you can, does this sound normal?

Not normal.
Send it back and get a tube from a reputable manufacturer.
