Barrel torque magpul wrench

[tb-av]

Alright thanks guys, I'm confident (100%), that it's within the spec.

Related question, how far from the center of the barrel is the torque wrench head on a milspec wrench? Just looking to compare to the magpul wrench.

If that's not a joke.....

Oh what the hell..... it's within an eyeball's measurement of being "just about the same".

That's what I thought. I've never seen one and wanted to make sure it wasn't like 6" or something.

Exactly 2 inches from center of barrel to center of drive on the torque wrench.

Perfect, sounds like "same" to me. Thanks for all the help guys.

People shouldn't get too caught up in what the military manuals state.

For a long time, the military manuals stated that the "castle nut" needed to be torqued to 40 inch pounds plus or minus 2 inch pounds.

I know of at least one major player that was assembling their AR15s to that standard until I pointed it out to them during an armourer course three years ago. The department manager ended up calling the AMU to confirm that the latest manual had been corrected.

Yup, a typo is the exact reason we should just throw the entire TM right in the trash. Tracking.

Clearly you are not tracking.

What I am saying is that the manuals have errors, so people shouldn't just blindly quote the manual and take everything in them as gospel.
