Got a question for the mavens of building ARs.
The torque specs for the barrel nut, from what I have read, run from about 30 Lbs/ft to around 80 Lbs/ft.
On the low side is it a factor in AR accuracy? As long as the barrel is securely fastened to the upper receiver regardless of torque value will accuracy be as good as the barrel?
Or put another way, with YOUR match grade AR what did YOU torque your barrel nut to?
TIA
