[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1792032, member: 2736"] Everyone needs to consider the action/tenon size and the type of make up before setting a torque value. Some actions place the tenon in tension, others that make up internally and on the action shoulder require a different torque because of multiple mating surfaces. Some actions also have Whitworth threads And require a totally different torque also. Just because a factory barrel is hard to remove doesn't mean it requires heavy torque. it just normally means that it has been together a long time or the factory used a thread sealer to protect the threads from the bluing salts entering and corroding the threads. There is no reason to torque some actions/barrels to more than 60 to 70 ft/lbs. It only adds stress to the system. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
