[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 380028, member: 2736"] It takes a barrel vice and a action wrench. As I said I don't use but 50 to 70 ft/lbs because I dont wan't to load the threads any more than nessary to keep it from working loose and letting the 60,000 PSI do the rest on the threads. I have torqued to well over 100 ft/lbs and found no advantage in accuracy . I have owned 2 rifles that started shooting poorly and discovered that the barrel was only hand tight. (They were torqued @ 30 ft/lbs) so I up the torque to 70 ft/lbs and solved the problem. (On actions with small tenons I drop the torque down a bit. Everyone has there own idea of what torque is nessary and I don't think it makes that much difference It's just a matter of choice. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
