Elijah installs his 556 nato 1/8 twist PSA Freedom barrel assembly on his upper, Torque on this barrel ended up being right at 82 ft lbs I had to jump in and give it the last little bit of gusto at the end to torque the barrel its common with uppers from PSA to be torqued right at 80ft lbs and even up to 85ft lbs, this one was about 80ft lbs to break it loose and about 82ft lbs to index it back up, if we would of went with lighter torque the next index spot on the barrel nut below this was just barely tight and at only 35ft lbs.
I could of lapped the upper receiver to fix this but for his first gun I am happy with 82ft lbs of torque on the barrel nut.
