Gunsmithing 10/22 Torque specs?

Re: 10/22 Torque specs?

I popped the head off of Rimfire Sports Allen head takedown screw on a hogue stock. Stock doesn't have an escutcheon so I think the lack of a pillar put too much force on the head. Pretty sure I was doing 55 inch/lbs. It was probably around the 10th time I took it out of the stock.

Something to consider. I'd make sure it has a pillar. I keep meaning to go to the harware store and find something that will work as a pillar.
