Torque Question
I have a Big Boy .357 with the brass receiver. I bought the Henry Ring and Base set for it. I know what the torque is for the rings,but I can't find the torque for the 3 screws in the base. I need to know so I don't strip out the receiver. Thanks.

Re: Torque Question
FWIW I have the BBS 357, not brass receiver. I set my Fat Wrench at 15-20 inch lbs, w/blue locktite.Have not put tons of rounds through it yet, but that is where I started.

Re: Torque Question
Torque varies depending on whether the threads are "lubed" with something or are dry. Since blue loctite acts as a lubricant initially, you need to know the torque value for a lubed installation. If you tighten per the dry spec, you could easily overtorque the lubed screws. Make sure you ask about this when you contact the Henry techs.

Welcome to the forum from the TV, Oregon.
The torque spec should have been included on a small piece of installation instruction paper inside the blister package the base came in. It's sandwiched between the front and back of the pretty paper covers inside the blister package. If you just cut the base out of blister package then you may have missed finding the installation sheet.

Re: Torque Question
It probably wouldn't make more than a couple inlbs difference for those tiny little screws, but better safe than sorry. Torque was a very big deal when I was building 747's for Boeing. Besides the lube/dry specs, we also had to be careful about titanium vs. steel fasteners. Sometimes the Engineers would call out steel when they meant Titanium and vice versa, which caused some occasional grief on the line. Especially when there are approx. 2.5 million threaded fasteners on every 747.markiver54 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 11:10 amGood point Gunny, I forgot that part.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 10:53 amTorque varies depending on whether the threads are "lubed" with something or are dry.
