I sometimes exceed 3 times, but 3 times minimum. Example with LaRue and Noveske NSR bbl nuts it takes a lot to get them to where I need them for alignment. I grease them up well. Torque. Loosen. Torque a little higher. Loosen. Etc until I get good alignment and sufficient torque.
I don't know if the used receivers threads have stretched. Just something LtCol Lutz taught me a long time ago.
