[QUOTE="Firearrow, post: 2490091, member: 18733"] I have a stiller predator action that I am having the cerekote taken off, will be melonited/nitride, and then re-cerekoted. I was having a hell of a time breaking the barrel and action loose and I contacted the gunsmith that built the rifle for me and said that he torques his barrels/actions on at 100 ft/lbs. I know what the minimum and max torque specs are, and common since would dictate that if I do not want my headspacing to change I should re-torque the barrel back to 100ft/lbs. So my question is is there any reason why I should not re-torque it back to 100 ft/lbs, and if I only did 80 ft/lbs would that really effect my headspacing? And, any special grease I should put on the threads? Thanks [/QUOTE]
