[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 1413999, member: 7292"] For my purposes, I would seat the thread by tightening and backing off several times, then I would tighten until snug and then go to the next hole that lines up. That is plenty tight, even if it's not to the proper ft.lbs. I wouldn't even worry about a torque wrench. Most people agree that is the best way to do it for accuracy, and I've never heard of anyone having their barrel nut loosen on them if done that way. The other thing you might consider would be to take the barrel and nut off and lap them together before you reassemble it to the upper. [/QUOTE]
