[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 2731031, member: 2469"] I'm not a physicist, but here is my opinion. The barrel nut clamps the barrel extension and receiver together, there shouldn't be any rotation of the barrel or receiver happening. Unless, you generate enough friction between the barrel nut and receiver threads or barrel nut and barrel extension to overcome the clamping force being generated. The Army TM advises clamping the barrel in a vice while torquing the barrel nut, FWIW. [/QUOTE]
