I know when installing a buffer tube for a collapsible stock the torque is between 38-42 foot pounds. When using a Magpul wrench that is lined up (lengthwise) with the torque wrench, do you take it to 35-40 foot pounds in that position, or is the torque measured correctly from a different position? Just want to make sure before I go and give it too much/not enough. Appreciate it.

Look at the "E" portion of the equation.

Thanks. That saved me from over-torquing the shit out of it.

You can also align the wrench 90* to the 'E-L' intersection point
