[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1787522, member: 2736"] 35 to 40 ft/lbs is minimum and 65 to 70 is maximum in my opinion. I use a thread lubricant that reduces torque requirements but reaches the same compression on the receiver. after testing the torque without any lubricant and then with, the torque came to 57 ft/lbs and is very repeatable if the barrel has to come off at a later date. Some bench rest shooters tighten there barrels hand tight, but they must keep a constant watch on the barrel (They do this to minimize any stress). Consistent torque is very important to maintain perfect head space and stresses. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
