If your using one of the portable bench vises that the BR guys use it virtually impossible to put a barrel on too tight to the point of hurting anything. The barrel will slip in the vise before you get that much torque on it. That's why factory torqued barrels can't be removed that way. I personally wouldn't have a clue how to calibrate a torque wrench. Above my pay grade. But would it really matter much if your barrel was 25 pounds or 30 pounds. Or even if it went on tighter to 35 pounds. I doubt you could tell on paper. But it would be nice to have a tool that was correct. Especially if your bolting on wings of the plane I'm flying in.
