[QUOTE="XLR Industries, post: 2567059, member: 123236"] Sorry for the late response on this one! I have only heard of this a couple of times and they have all been on lightweight bigger 30/338 calibers on the MG chassis. For the couple of customers we have had with this issue, we have told them to use a small amount of white lithium grease on the action screw and it allows them to get a full torque. What we think is happening is tolerances are clashing between the action screw and the action. On the one rifle that we were able to replicate this, we torqued it down to the recommended 65-inch lbs and then marked it. Then we kept hitting the torque limiter and it would inch in another small amount every time until it hit what we believed was the full torque. We then marked it again there. Then we put white lithium grease on the action screw and torqued it down and this allowed the screw to reach its full torque without having any false reads. This has been the best solution and has worked for everyone else that has had this issue (which has only been a few). That is for the chassis side of things. As far as your muzzle brake goes I have been putting rockset on all of my brakes and haven't had one come loose in a while! If you get one stuck all you have to do is run a little hot water over it and the rockset clears out! [/QUOTE]
