Larue gas block install ?

When installing the larue gas block, what torque in inch pounds should the screws be tightened to?

Anybody?

Don’t make me go to TOS or have to call Larue for their sugestions!

I don’t torque them to a spec. But if I did it would be near 35-45in lbs.

I just put a bit of the loctite, then tighted with the allen key…no torque measured. Not really needed either as the GB isn’t under a significant work load, especially after a few mags have gone through the gun. The tightened screws, loctite and eventual carbon seal will keep it in place.

Thanks guys,

I alway hear if it isn’t pinned it’s no good. I don’t want it loosening up unless I’m tearing down for part replacement. It’s going to be under a rail anyway so it should be good.
