[QUOTE="Clark, post: 2529850, member: 6600"] 1) Go to the range with a loose barrel. Shoot a group. Tighten the barrel, shoot another group. Continue until groups get no smaller. The minimum torque for minimum group size was about 10 foot pound for me. 2) Maximum torque for a 1-14 grade 8 bolt is 995 foot pounds. This is similar to a barrel tenon threads. [/QUOTE]
