| This is a stupid question, but I'm trying to reinstall my A2 with original washer on LMT barrel. I'm not sure how much torque to put on the thing, but when I tighten it with universal tool (no vice just holding it in my hand) I come up about 3/4 turn short of proper alignment. Do I just need to put it in a vice and torque that baby down or am I doing something wrong? I just dont want to screw up my barrel. Thanks in advance. |

Protect the barrel with the material of your choice, clamping it in a bench vice directly behind the FH. Continue tightening until the center slot in the FH is indexed at the 12 o’clock position. |
