If the barrel nut is a non indexing type, I like 60 inch pounds.
If it's a barrel nut type that the gas tube goes throw it I try to get as close to 60 inch pounds without going over and still have the gas tube free float throw the barrel nut.
I like to lap my receiver as well.
Hope this helps sir.

I believe that is foot-pounds and not inch-pounds.
I grease the inside of the nut a little, especially the contact between barrel extension flange and nut.
I then torque to 40 ft-lbs and see if the holes lines up then go a little more until they do. The grease makes it easy.

Yes foot pounds, don't know why I put inch pounds.
