I know somebody was asking on another thread about information on using them. I know that there is no torque spec specified for the barrel installation, but when installing a new barrel, how tight is tight enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconbob Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 The square thread of the Thompson can't be torqued very faronce the shoulder of the barrel hits the receiver. Once the shoulder hits, maybe you can turn the barrel 1/8" and then it just won't gomuch farther. Unlike a V thread where once the shoulder hits you can torque the barrel maybe 1/4" or more. So when you barrel a Thompson you can turn it on as tight asyou can before your barrel wrench starts to slip. Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
