Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Gas plug torque
Posted: 12/19/2003 7:35:39 PM EDT
Anybody know what the torque for the gas plug is on an M1-A?

TB9-1000-237-12 (22 Jun 71) specifies 15 +/- 2 ft-lbs for the M14 gas cylinder plug.

Be a nice idea to use a gas cylinder wrench to hold the gas cyl and not apply any unwanted torque to it.  Fulton Armory (and others) sell 'em.

M14 gas cylinder wrench won't fit many of the M1A cast gas cylinders, just be prepared to slightly enlarge it.
