Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about DTA HTI
Posted: 7/19/2021 8:26:10 PM EDT
My .50 caliber conversion finally showed up and I was able to mount it in the chassis for the first time. Question for those that have an HTI is what torque value do you tighten the four barrel screws to? Google shows 70 ft-lbs for a standard SRS, but if that is the case, why did Desert Tech send a 10 Nm torque tool with the chassis? That’s no where close to 70 ft-lbs.

I don't think it was meant for Foot Pounds, probably for Inch Pounds. 10 Nm converts to 88.51 Inch Pounds, if the torque wrench is adjustable, dial it down to where you need it. That would be 8 Newton Meters, gets you to 70.81 Inch Pounds.

Of course, the best thing to do is to contact DTI and ask them. No telling how long it might take to get an answer to your question.

yeah don't do ft lbs...I wasn't thinking and grabbed a torque wrench to tighten a scope and it was ft lbs and wondered why I didn't hear a click
