Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

Fun story.

I used to run about 30-35ft/lbs barrel torque, in the range where you could use your feet to hold the butt stock and a clamp on barrel vise to pop the barrel off without putting it into a fixture. Never had any issues with accuracy or otherwise.

One day I adjusted my muzzle brake with a crescent wrench, loosened and tightened it a couple times to get it lined up correctly. Then later that week I shot a one-day PRS club match. I won the club match, cleaning the last stage, tossed my rifle in the bag and drove home.

When I got home to clean the gun I looked and the muzzle brake was crooked. I thought... Well darn, I tightened that. How did it come loose? I reach to grab the muzzle brake and it turns out the brake was tight but the whole darn barrel was loose.

Now I run about 75 fl/lb. :)

I had a similar experience with a barrel that was just snapped in place. Trying to take the suppressor off with the customer who "knows how to install it just fine" the barrel spun off the action and I had a suppressed barrel in my hands. :ROFLMAO:

Yea, but... Japanese men and society are currently outrageously feminized because of the tremendous loss of men during WWII topped off with post-war sanctions. No one left to be samurai, warriors. The manly culture was killed. Pretty much the same as the US/Western Europe. Maybe b/c "immigration" they will get it back. I'm not condoning the imperial bad behavior up to and during WWII, but they are paying for it.

Germany,UK and France the same. really a surprise that Russia still shows a rather strong culture. they lost many millions in 2 WWs and some subsequently in Afgh and Chechnya. losing a lot more in Ukraine. they seem to be an outlier in the loss of young males/loss of strength idea.
explanation of that? maybe because of their hx of their culture being one of absolute control from the top? but that doesn't fly in light of Japanese and German culture. ????

Josh already said it but once the shoulder touches the action face, only one flank is loaded. On the barrel, its the flank facing the shoulder thats loaded. On the receiver, it’s the flank facing the shooter.

But the chingadera in the receiver of the AWMC is floating in the receiver. All it is doing is pushing and self centering into apposing vees.
