Gunsmithing torquing a manners stock

[jackh]

this might be in here, but a google search didn't come up with anything

i just got a mcs t with aluminum pillars. what do i torque the screws to when i drop the rifle into the stock? some instructions on the box for the torque driver said 65 in lbs but i wanted to check here first.

thanks

65 is what I use.

If you are using a Remington factory floor plate 40 inch pounds is about the most you want. I generally use 35. On replacement bottom metals like badger, etc. are fine to torque to 65.

just called manners. they recommended 60 in the front and about 45 in the back, making sure to tighten the front screw first

This is good to know.
Would this be the same on the mini Chassis and the stock with pillars/bedded?

i couldn't tell ya what they torque the mini chassis to, but im betting they would still want you to torque the front screw first like they told me to
