I try not to go more than about 40 ft lbs with the barrel nut.
My AA 16" was sub-MOA capable on it's first outing. Still holds that if I do my part with Black and SSTs. Fed Fusions are only a little looser groups. I can still get 1.5" - 2" with Wolf Steel.
Never had an issue with it.
That's good to hear.
The muzzle device has a 12 o'clock: it's a compensator. So, to keep the ports facing the right way took a little bit. Literally...a little bit. I used loctite on it. That was about February or March. A few days ago when I tried to disassemble it, it was taking too much effort. I heated it up, then tried again. At 20-30 (estimated) lb ft the barrel rotated out of the extension.
