[QUOTE="lynn, post: 35480, member: 1479"] You can buy an action wrench pretty cheaply and use your torque wrench on the back of it.If you just use a strap wrench or pipe wrench with tape you'll bend your action.The only thing you accomplish by torquing the barrel on is a little bit of pre-load or stretch that keeps it from backing off under a load as Fiftydriver has pointed out.Get the action wrench first then do your tinkering or the action will be toast.
