The real reason that you're seeing torque numbers below what I'm stating is because - the initial operation has already been done. The threads are already stretched, from the real install, the initial operation of building the barrel. You're taking apart barrels, extensions, and applying torque (hopefully) to realign your extension with the feedramps that were cut in - a later barrel assembly process... You are torquing it again, after the threads were torqued and stretched to spec the first time. Your torque values that you are seeing are torque values from stretched threads... and lower than spec, because of that. That's the reason that you have a torque range, and not a direct number. Hope that makes sense. Look forward to your intro, in this section here (I'll link it for you): This is the Intro Section, just click it, and make your post about you: https://forum.308ar.com/forum/22-introductions/

Go hit up the Intro Section, Jim, and tell us about yourself. The barrel extension is intended to be installed, as part of the barrel manufacturing process, before the barrel is final machined. Doesn't even have the gas port drilled yet, when the extension goes on. Barrel extensions are not meant, or designed, to be removed and reinstalled. The torque for installing during the manufacturing process is 175ft/lb.

Watching this guy's brilliant remodel of a box truck - into a stealth RV... It's pretty badass...

You guys both know my outlook on spares, and redundancy. This message brought to you from The Department of Redundancy Department.

DAMN!!! THOSE ARE SUPER-CHEAP!!! Instigator...

You instigator! You'll never find the blem on them. Some QC Ninja went crazy, rejected them for some inane reason, and they'll still be perfect. Great score.

Now, how the hell did you break the damn thing?!

You gotta DEAL WITH IT, brother!!!

Hell yeah, Doc!!! Great receivers!

BURT GUMMER IS MY HERO!!!

The Fat Files only has 3 vids so far, brand new channel, so I MUST post the other 2 vids, so far...

HolyShiit... The Fat Electrician has another channel... The Fat Files... This is an EPIC revelation...

This is amazing. This is the perspective of the US Air Force unit that was tasked with recovering the fallen SEALs from Operation Red Wings. This is worthy of your time....

You completely blew up my ASS CLOWNS post from the previous page, just by timing...

Time to step up the Canadian Game a little, and buy more guns. Beat Uruguay...

ASS CLOWNS. Yep, said it again. I know for a fact that I've used that very term to describe some of the people that show up here and start posting nonsense. Well, now a Colorado Sheriff has used that very term to describe idiots. Ironically, that's the very same way that I like to use that term. Check this one out...

I love me some Aaron Lewis. I must have missed this one when it came out a year ago.

Not yet, but I'll try it out, for sure. I run RL-15, used to run Varget. I find those two powders damn near identical, from using them both for 75gr and 77gr 5.56 Heavies. If the StaBall Match is identical, or at least a replacement for Varget, then that's the same case for RL-15. I'll pick up a pound and try it out, just to find this information out.

I was loading Hornady 285s into the 338LM for about $1.90 a shot. It's 90 grains of powder, so you only get about 75 rounds loaded per pound of powder. I want a Barrett MRAD, but I'm looking hard at the Savage 110 Precision Elite right now. Model 57562.

I think I'm gonna have to reach out to my sponsor...

@Magwa - I need a bigger fuqn gun. You better start shopping now, too, brother... I'm not instigating... I'm just sayin'...

We hire Sherpas... If we push from the 609 shelf, out to the old 1,000 target from the Tank, it's 1.44 miles, 2534 yards... Trajectory well south of camp, the camp is the red circle below...

If we can make a shot from the natural shelf where we put the 609 target, it's 1.37 miles, or 2411 yards... I'm just sayin'... Trajectory of the projectile is almost 100 yards south of the camp location, so it's still a safe shot.

I have 2,217 yards mapped out, and the location will be easy, from the 2,000 yard position. Time to push, test limits. We're shooting 1.14 miles. 2006.4 yards. In this pic below, the current firing position and new platform is just short of the 1.15 mile mark on that trajectory line. We can push further back that ridge, keep the same target, and run more. I have the 1.26 mile position as the stop-point on this trial-and-error test. I think we've actually shot from further up that ridge before, on decent flat-ish spots. Here's 2,217 yards...
