thanks semi (and the rest of the responders to this point).
can anyone explain why tightening to much is detrimental. I'm guessing that it does not allow the barrel to oscillate (sp) correctly during the shot or something but really have no idea and did not previously know that it was possiblef for them to be to tight....should I use loc tite (blue bottle)on the lugs??
how about the torque wrench idea for precise tightening.
I know right now the lugs are as tight as i can possibly get them by had with a screwdriver..so probably not right
thanks again all
