40/12=3.3
I would doubt a ft.lb wrench goes that low.

Is this the to tighten the castle nut?
Or is it a fixed stock?

from sticky up top
Lower Receiver Extension (Buffer Tube)
Rifle - 35 to 39 Ft. Lbs.
Carbine - Tighten the locking nut to 40 INCH pounds plus or minus 2 INCH pounds.

I torque it until it's tight enough that the nut won't budge & then stake it. There's no need to use a torque wrench for the castle nut.
