I finally read the SIG manual for my MPX and discovered I'm supposed to torque the barrel retaining screws to 40 in-lbs. Googling I found this bike tool graduated in NM increments of 4, 5 and 6 NM (35.4, 44.25 and 53.1 in-lb respectively). Would 44 be too much torque? All thoughts appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Bik...ativeASIN=B07D6QD9T6 ____________________________ P220 SAO (EDC) (plus 22 conversion) and a variety of Carry / Compacts with some part swapping); Colt Model 70; P226 DA/SA; P226 Elite SAO & 357SIG Conversion, P320 FS & SC; P238; Sig 1911 Max; Colt Officer ACP;P365 (alternate EDC) _________________________ "About the whole no guns thing?

I'd just go with a Wheeler torque wrench. The analogue wrench is slightly cheaper than the digital one. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

Wheeler or Borka torque wrenches. Any self respecting shooter needs one. | |||

Thanks - now, if I get one, will that cure my total lack of self-respect - or at least move the needle? ____________________________ P220 SAO (EDC) (plus 22 conversion) and a variety of Carry / Compacts with some part swapping); Colt Model 70; P226 DA/SA; P226 Elite SAO & 357SIG Conversion, P320 FS & SC; P238; Sig 1911 Max; Colt Officer ACP;P365 (alternate EDC) _________________________ "About the whole no guns thing?

Lol, just giving you grief. I find I use my Borka setup a lot now that I have it. The bits are great and when you start mounting scopes, SCAR / MPX barrels, etc it is just great to know you are doing it right instead of winging it. | |||

A "bike tool" for your MPX? I wouldn't use that on a bicycle, let alone a firearm or anything else calling for an actual torque value. I use calibrated torque wrenches when applying torque, and I get them calibrated annually. Most of mine are snap-on or mac. It would cost more to get that amazon plastic junk tested for calibration, than what the wrench costs...no early way I'd consider it. Ever. | |||
