dpete Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 It came off a Nemo arms rifle? If so how did you get it off? If it is going on a Nemo arms rifle, the rifle makes no difference as long as its a 308 barrel nut and a 308 upper with the same thread pattern. Who made the handguard it is for? My first step would be to contact them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OregonDonor Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I could tighten it with the strap I would feel better know it was to spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 The range on these things is 30~80 ft/lbs. It's a pretty broad range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Funnk Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Pipe wrench and a bit of muscle. Your common sense should let you know when it’s tight enough to be in spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodByNAair Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 When working on German cars, I call it goood en tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Grease the threads on the barrel nut (or threads on the upper receiver), and run it down, back it off. Do that three times, and run it down moderately snug - then tighten it to the next notch that will clear the gas tube. You'll be fine.

You can take this to the bank! 98 has probably built more AR platform guns than most people will own in a lifetime. Voice of experience there!
