[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1797317, member: 112579"] I can,t say for sure but it certainly wasn't helping. You are a mechanic? So I am sure you have a torque wrench. Either the guy screwed up the threading so it has some taper or he just forgot to torque it. The guys at bat say 75 ft lbs and up. I torque to 120 to 140. 1 1/16 thread that is not going to hurt anything. I have had guns come in here that I had to use a 4 ft pipe on the action wrench to get the barrel off. [/QUOTE]
