MSR15 Recon barrel install.

I found a new White Oak Armament barrel on black Friday and went to install it on my msr recon model. I took the handguard off and disassembly seems very straightforward. Savage uses a barrel nut that I imagine is proprietary.

My question is torque. The lady at savage said 90 foot Lbs which seems excessive. 35 to 80 for a typical barrel nut and really any anything over 35 is good. Is 90 ft lbs correct?

Should I ask this in MSR 15 forum?

I have no experience with the MSR 15 but I would torque to regular AR specs of 35-to 80
I am happy with 50 ft lbs when obtainable and everything lines up
