[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 1865154, member: 1951"] 1) At first, no. I will use a trigger with a light thread compound or light torque on the nuts. Then when I’m done adjusting, I will carefully apply blue locktite. That locks small screws down well. 2) This is difficult, but I have a set of tests I do based on some use cases I have developed.....close action smartly 10 times; smack action on side with rubber mallet 3 times..dropping light mallet 3 times about 6”. With action in stock drop 6” on butt pad 3 times; check all disconnect, connect, bolt remove, safety functions(lock up of action 100% if so designed); with safety engaged, action should be able to take severe impact from rear....tested with more severe mallet strikes to tang. 3) confirm all trigger and safety functions. Measure 10 pulls looking for abnormal pull weights or variation. Confirm safety locks up action or lifts striker off trigger on m70. I have no customers except me. This is all roughly based on what it took stock rifles to jar off. [/QUOTE]
