    French Tikka T3x TAC A1 manual states the nominal torque on handguard screws is 5 Nm (44 in lbs). That's a lot. I'm afraid that much torque will completely close the gap and plastically deform the aluminum handguard.

    Thanks, but the stock TAC A1 handguard is different. The gap before tightening is just 1.85 mm. I'm curious how much should it be after tightening. I don't want to deform the handguard.

    I have reinstalled the handguard on my Tikka T3x TAC A1 and do not know how much to tighten the two handguard screws. Could some of you owners of TAC A1 please take the measurement of the clamp gap at the utmost rear of the handguard and write it here?
