So, it is in inch pounds? Or, is it foot pounds (in. lbs. or ft. lbs.)?

70 inch lbs is only a little under 6ft lbs, ain't going to do much good for your AR needs.

It is in In/Lbs. Is this incorrect for scope mount torque values? I know the barrel bolts are higher than what this provides with its limit at 70.
Thanks |

Inch lbs for almost everything except barrel,then you need ft lbs for it.

To be more correct, your torque driver is fine for anything you've mentioned you plan to do. It's way too light for barrels or receiver extensions (AKA "buffer tubes"). But optics cry out for quality, precise torque, and that's what you stated you were looking at using it for.
To install a barrel you'll need a wrench that reads at least 30 foot pounds and goes up to at least 80 foot pounds. Receiver extensions are torqued at about 40 foot pounds. |

All of this is 100% correct. |
