[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 44984, member: 2447"] Express , Perhaps the barrel came loose because no-one there knew what the correct torque was ? I had an action wrench / barrel vice for my Sako Swift. The handle on the wrench was only about 275mm long and made that way so I couldn't overtighten the barrel . I never found the torque setting critical . First click in the elbow was the setting from memory . Seriously , I just did it up firmly enough that it wouldn't come undone . Yours was obviously not torqued up properly from day one or it would never have shot loose . Fiftydriver recommends 50 - 60 foot pounds in one of his posts . Most gunsmiths probably won't even have an action wrench that hooks up to a tension wrench so you may not want to be too pedantic about it .
