Going to change a trigger and was just wondering if someone knows the torque spec off the top of their head. A quick search herre and at McMillan's site didn't turn up an answer. I'm thinking around 60-70lbs/in? Thanks for any help,

Gunsmithing McMillan A5 torque spec?

Re: McMillan A5 torque spec?
Action torque is 65"#, but the most important thing is to not crunch th e'glass and keep both cap screws at the same torque. I do mine in 5# increments on my A5 as I hit 45"#. I get to 60"# and stop so I won't crunch the 'glass as it starts to flex a bit

Sounds like a smart way to do it - I will follow suit. Thanks for the advice!

Re: McMillan A5 torque spec?
does your stock have pillars installed or no? If no pillars id rock it at about 50-55 INCH lbs if the pillars id run it up to 60-65 INCH lbs
