| Anyone remember off the top of their head? And is it in foot pounds or inch pounds? Thanks! |

My (Colt Canada) manual states: -When using the peel washer 46-51 ft. lbs. -Crush Washer, tighten untill contact, then continue untill slot alignment is reached. ETA: My Army -23 states 15-20 ft lbs for the install utilizing the peel washer. I personally use German torque i.e. "Gut n' tight". TM 9-1005-319-23 can be downloaded here: www.ar15.com/content/manuals/ |
I know it sounds high, but here it is in B&W!
No sir!!! I believe you, just never had to put one on that tight before, but then again, never have I used a torque wrench with a crush washer. Only with lockwashers and peel washers, in which case 25-30 is all I put on them. |
