Once again I'm not sure if this belongs here or the gun smithing section but this one seems to be visited more often... Feel free to move it if necessary moderators. I have a trijicon accupoint rail and weaver tactical 6-hole rings on my BA Rifle. When I originally mounted my scope I tightened everything down and went out a shot for a while and when I was done I noticed that the rings had come loose from the rail... really loose. So I took it home and snugged them down again to what I thought was fairly tight. There was no actual indication that it was getting tight like most equipment has. I didnt want to overtighten it and break the rings. I've shot a few hundred rounds out of it since and I went to take the scope off the other day and I used a wrench and the bolts felt really easy to loosen up... like just past hand tight. It wasn't loose to where the scope could move or where I could have loosened them with my hands but not as tight as i thought I had tightened them. I guess my question would be does anyone have any idea on what kind of torque specs the rings have or how much I should be tightening them? I dont bang the gun around to where it would loosen anything up... just standard shooting. I don't have any problems with the rings coming loose from the scope. Just want to know how tight I can get before I have to worry about breaking something.
