10/22 target barrel torque settings

[HogBob]

Can someone tell me the correct tightening torque for the two allen head screws used in the Vblock to attach the Ruger hammer forged target barrel to a stock Ruger receiver? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Bob :?

Not exact torque values, but overtightening the screws can strip the threads in the receiver. I just snug mine up good, personally.

Enigma- Thanks for your reply. I'll just use about 18/22 in/lbs. and hope for the best. BTW I like your Mark Twain quote.

I have usually cranked mine down pretty tight. When I got my Kidd barrel they recommended IIRC around 10 lbs. I went with their advice and shoots great.

Rumrunner -- is that 10 lbs. you mentioned in/lbs or ft/lbs.? Thanks for your earlier reply.

Inch pounds.
