Zastava M70 action screws tork?

[dugasgunner]

Hi all. Anybody has experimented with different tork settings on their action screws? What should be the minimum setting?
Thx all.

I'd go 35 inch pounds on synthetic stocked units & 45-50 in. lbs on wood fitted ones. I generally have good results with these settings on bolt guns
that are decently bedded.

I'll try that. Thx!

Adding a barrel pressure point has done wonders for accuracy in all my sporter barrel mausers.

For the first two rounds?

For when the barrel heats up...

 

[dugasgunner]

What material have you used to do that?

What material have you used to do that?

Wood, epoxy, tape, cut up credit cards, cork drawer liner. Anything that will give the barrel at least 4lbs upward pressure when assembled.

Getting them bedded and free floated help alot in the accuracy department. My groups went from 1"-1.5" factory to 1/2"-3/4" gunsmith bedded. I tighten the bolts by hand pretty snug and havent had issues.

And where under the barrel do you apply that pressure point? Near the chamber, middle or at the end?

2-3 inches back from the end of the forestock.

2-3 inches back from the end of the forestock.

Thx again!

I've had this work very well for some rifles and not so well for others. It's certainly worth a try.

This was a factory feature on Brno model 21/22, and it worked very well. In the case of the Brno, a small threaded base was brazed to the bottom of the barrel to accept a small screw.
