[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1939468, member: 24284"] Because 150# is not needed to secure a barrel to an action, that's why! 60# is plenty. But, it appears you will believe about about anything posted on the sites you visit. I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday. I've been fitting custom barrels for 30+yrs and I did bother to get a formal gunsmithing education, although it wasn't on the interdnet, it was a 2yr accredited school. I'm not a betting man, but I'd bet your barrel vise lets the barrel slip long before you reach your 150#. 60 Ft. pounds will hold the 2 together securely. 150 ft. pounds will do nothing but stretch threads more than need be. Its a "wanna-be" thread. You don't want any advice from those that "do", like sable tireur, or anyone else. Good luck . Pre-fit barrels are for the hobbyist crowd. Nuf said [/QUOTE]
