All the production barreling machines were timed for mechanical top dead center and wound them regardless of the resistance. 001" difference in shoulder to thread timing can generate an additional 100 ft. The minimum acceptable torque for retension would be about 125-150 foot pounds. It gives me better control.Ģ, in my world, again in my world, torque is only in retension value.

With the field grades, they are done in the opposite manner. Thank you for all the posts, i am just a trigger monkey, but always interested in how these 14s are put together to achieve maximum precision potential.ġ, the difference is, with the match barrels, they are locked into position and the reciever is rotated. Could you please articulate how you torque down match barrels for competition? Is there a certain torque value you adhere to as you center the barrel to tdc?

Could you please elaborate the two different methods?Ģ.
