Does anybody know what the toque spec. is on the screws for the trigger gaurd and the main screw that pulls the barrel asy. back in place, or where I can find them thanks

What ever you do don't use lock-tite at least the Red stuff. My friend brought his 77 over so I could do a trigger job on it and the idiot who owned it before him used red lock-tite on the floor plate and trigger guard screws. The trigger was at 7.25 pounds so it had to be done, talk about a pain in the a**, By the time we got those screws loose we wanted to go hunting.[:@]

Normal torque specs for the front and rear guard screws is 65 inch pounds. The machinescrew at the front of the trigger guard does not need quite thatmuch - and I normally secure it with BLUE loctite so it doesn't work loose. Red Loctite on the guards screws? That's sort of like putting Super Glue in a lock . . . .
