Accuracy International - Need Torque Specs

[Monk Medic]

Installed the new AI Competition Trigger in my AX308 last week, and just installed the same in my AXMC .338 today.

I'm a bit a stickler about torque specs, wonder if someone could share:

- Screws (3) that hold the pistol grip handle sections together

- Snap (1) that holds the folding stock to the frame when the stock is not locked in position

- Screws (2) that hold the grip cover on the back end of the pistol grip sections

- Trigger to frame mounting screws (2)


Yes, I could ballpark them, and I did attempt to measure torque on removal, but that is never really accurate.

Thanks!

49 in lbs on the bolts that hold the trigger in.

Snug on everything else, it's really not much and there's no reason to do an exact torque. Just remember that they are head bolts. Probably 15 in lbs for the folder socket, and 5 in lbs on the plastics, you could go to 10 in lbs and be fine too. Those are all really easy to feel when they're were they want to be though.

From installing samb300’s thumb rest I’ve noticed my AIAT skins have a “click” or “pop” sounds when I tighten the skins back on. I consider that torqued, though I have no clue what that value is. Like above, its plastic with a metal (brass?) insert in a non-critical area.

Thank you!

I do need to take the Armorer's course on the AX and AXMC, just need to find a civilian one that is open on my side of the country!

Thanks man, that is super!

Are these for the AXMC and AX308, or general for the AT series as well?

These were quoted from AI UK a couple of years ago, when I asked for all the torque data for my AX308. I am also a stickler for it.

That said, I can’t see why these figures would be any different across the AT or AXMC.
