[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2004478, member: 10755"] I hand tighten, BUT there is a technique employed similar to spinning on a nut. The barrel MUST be snapped into place. If it doesn’t snap on, it will be loose enough that it will eventually come loose. I spin the action onto the barrel, not turning the barrel at all. Even when using my Davidson barrel vice, I only just nip it up past hand tight, never had one come loose. I DO NOT torque switch barrel set-ups, you WILL gall the mating surfaces over time if you are spinning them off and on as regularly as I do. I also use nickel anti-seize on the threads EVERY TIME I put a barrel on, you just can’t have too much. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
