| I have a Rock River NM A4. Was wondering what the torque is on the screws that hold the carry handle in place. I want to install a scope and try some precision bench rest shooting and remove and install the carry handle when I use it to compete in High power matches. |
| I'd say just "snug"on those handle screws is about right, tight but not excessively so. I never saw a tightening spec on these so shoot and then check. If they loosen a bit tighten again. If you always expect to shoot with the handle on use a drop of blue thread locker on the threads before tightening. That will keep them from loosening up. |

If you want an exact number 14-20 inch-pounds. Standard torque for a 1/4-28, which is about what you get if you "snug-up" with the knobs... |
