Thread lub for SS barrels ??

[FW Conch]

I know what 90 to 100 foot pounds is supposed to feel like. It's not the torque.

It's the "GUNK"

Apply a little heat and the nut behaves as 100ft/lbs should.

Agreed, I think it was AGI (?) video that advocated the 90 ft lbs.

That seems out of line.

The one barrel came off with something around 50 ft lbs feel. The other one was stuck and stuck good.

Both had goop, hotter chamber temps may have weakened the goop (or time, 15 years old roughly). It had it but it was not stuck, nice easy removal with the breaker bar the NSS nut tool.
