Hi guys, I have a little question, how much tightening torque I must use to fix correctly my X-S II? 20 inlbs is enought? Now this is not my recommendation it's just an answer I came across. So blame this dude if the bolts shear YouTube Video

Do you use Tuna Oil to bring thm into your area - works well here for the static hunt boys.

Maybe I can put into a M16 screw mexicanjoe What do you mean?

I have a ken farrell steel picatinny mount and 50 inch pounds rings a bell. I think it was roughly 6nm and I wussed out tightening the farrell rings to the farrell rail at that setting. I felt like something would snap ( I'm sure it wouldn't but I still stopped before I got to 6nm) My flatop AR got marred slightly by the ARMS but it was only that it took off the hydro dip and made a shiny bit. To be safe why not drop a line to ATN and one to your mount/ firearm manufacturer. But the factory ATN mount isn't wonderful anyway so even doing everything as specified it still might mark aluminium. I know this is no help!

In facts, my fear is for female mounting ATN the male is in nitriding steel. If I damage the female, how can I replace? IMHO ~ 6Nm isn't a great tightening torque, for a M6 it should be ~10Nm.
