[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2006532, member: 10755"] As mentioned, I actually do not care what the torque setting is on my switch barrels, witness marks tell me when the barrel is set in place. Also, as you know, a bolt/nut/stud is a one tightened use. You do not re-use it when tearing an engine down and putting at back together. I only use studs in the engines I build, bolts just don’t cut it. Anyway, barrels only need to be just tight in my experience. I switch out barrels during matches every so often when environmentals dictate, I snap the action onto the barrel and have zero issues. In many cases after 100 rounds or so, the barrel will need a vise and action wrench to remove it, they actually tighten past snapped on. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
