Guys,
I dont have a torque wrench set up to incorporate into my action wrench so quoting figures has never really been useful to me.
Do any of you guys torque your barrels to a degree or movement figure?
On a 16tpi thread it seems to me that once the shoulder touches the action a further turn of around 0.125" further movement around the circumference will give around 0.002" crush and this seems more than tight enough for a barrel/tenon fit.
I established the crush figure with feeler gauges between the action and shoulder and it looked like an accurate way to work, what do you think?
