oaken Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 How tight should the barrel be tightened on a switch barrel setup to give best consistency. I have read that 100ftlb is good but that seems a lot for a setup that is switched regularly. Rup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I've been a touch busy pal I'll reply to your pm in full but you need one of these http://www.kineticresearchgroup.com/products/wrench.php Get your smith to put witness marks on the barrel and action so there is no need for a torque wrench.

oaken Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 HOW MUCH??? :-* That is one expensive lump of metal!!! Surely there is someone making these at a fraction of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I torque barrels to bettween 80 and 90 ft lbs. Using a torque wrench is the way to get it consistant if youre removing barrels often. The action wrench....wow, thats spendy. Why not have someone make you a round bar machined to bolt diameter, (with machine hex at end for socket) and removable "key" which bolts to the bar within the ejection port.. There are other ways to hold the action via clamp which work too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaken Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hi Andy choices- 1/ new bathroom 2/ new TRG with folding stock er....................let me think about that for a moment.......:-P Ronnin yes, I think you are right though not quite sure what you mean. Could I not just get a bar machined into that same triangular profile so that it fits snug into the 3 bolt lug grooves for the full length of the reciever?
