This video provides a quick tip on the proper use of a torque wrench for firearm applications, specifically focusing on installing an AR-15 barrel nut. It details the importance of a 90-degree angle for accurate torque application and explains how deviations from this angle can affect the applied torque. A practical demonstration using a Knights Armament barrel nut wrench is included, reassuring viewers that minor deviations are within acceptable specifications for AR-15 builds, especially when aiming for 50 foot-pounds.
This video from Brownells features Steve and Caleb providing essential tips on mounting rifle scopes with a focus on proper torque application. They highlight common issues, especially with aluminum receivers like on the Ruger 10/22, warning against exceeding 15 inch-pounds to prevent thread damage. The discussion also covers the pitfalls of using permanent Loctite on scope ring screws and recommends using a torque wrench for precision. They recommend degreasing over Loctite for ring screws and advise viewers to consult product instructions for specific torque values for common screw sizes (6-48, 8-40). The importance of using quality components and noting that gaps between ring halves are normal is also emphasized.
This video features Caleb from Brownells and Mike from Sons of Liberty Gunworks discussing the critical importance of proper torque when installing muzzle devices. They explain the theoretical reasons behind bore diameter consistency and its impact on accuracy, demonstrating the negative effects of overtorquing on a 5.56 barrel. The discussion covers torque specifications, common frustrations with shim timing for suppressor hosts and muzzle brakes, and the visual consequences of bore constriction. The hosts emphasize patience, precision, and avoiding excessive force, encouraging viewers to share their experiences and questions. This content promotes responsible firearm handling and maintenance.
