[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1789924, member: 38048"] I personally don't change the torque specs from differing metals. I do however change the specs for target guns and hunting rifles. Target rifles are having many barrels put on and taken off by the owner using a small barrel vise clamped to a table top and an inside the rails action wrench. So these see very little torque compared to what the factory values are. I think Remington uses like 1 to 2 million ft pounds to put barrels on. Yes that is a joke that gunsmiths will get. To say the least they are on there hard. [/QUOTE]
