Gunsmithing Recommended torque for a thread adapter?

[bm11]

Hey guys,

Just had some thread adapters build for me, to adapt my Sako 18x1.0 thread and my 5/8x24 threads both to 18x1.5 for my SAS suppressor. What would you recommend I torque them to?

Thanks!

German torque - gootentite

Personally, just put it on hand tight. It would be a PITA to get a wrench out every single time you want to put on a suppressor. Plus there isn't a torque value to screw on a suppressor, so why a thread protector?

Or if your "Bavarian" is a little weak...

Good 'n Dern Tite!!

Crank it down hand tight and let it be.

Wasn't planning on shooting the gun without the suppressor much, so I was looking for a semi permanent mount. I wouldn't want to risk having one of the two threaded components (the adapter or the can) loosen up on me. I will use a wrench but I won't go nuts.
