Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Correct Wheeler Fat Wrench Torque for AR15
Posted: 9/16/2017 4:18:13 PM EDT
I need some guidance with my Wheeler when it comes to my AR's. what inch pound settings would I use for the large nuts on the side of the Scope mount. I think it's a 10-32 size, I used the large flat head that came with the Wheeler and set it on 30 inch pounds and gave it three clicks.

I normally go 25-inch lbs with blue lock tight and call it good.

Depends on the manufacturer for specific torque values, but generally as the poster above me said 25 inch pounds is a good happy medium. I'd double check though as some manufacturers recommend like 15 or 20 inch pounds max depending on material (aluminum or steel) and may vary depending on rings and/or base/mount
