[QUOTE="Clark, post: 2514632, member: 6600"] If you calculate the max torque on barrel threads it is something like 1000 ft lb. If you measure group size vs tightening torque, the corner is low, something like 10 ft lb. I put barrels on with 100 foot pounds, but almost anything would work. I took off one rusty barrel with 560 foot pounds. I cleaned off the rust and put it back on to the same factory rotational mark. It was over 100 foot pounds. [/QUOTE]
