Title: torque?
Post by: Franklin7x57 on June 15, 2023, 09:59:27 AM
I emailed Franchi on what torque setting the base for an affinity 3 should be with locite. They answered quickly with 18-25 lbs. It's one thing to strip the threads on a base, but don't want to strip the receiver. 18-25lbs seems to be a wide range of torque??? Would you split the difference at 22lbs? Thanks

That is most likely inch lbs not ft lbs. If it is indeed inch lbs you're good.
