How tight (in/lbs) for 870 stock bolt?

[G37]

Anyone have a number?
I am putting on a Hogue stock tomorrow and have the tools... I am wondering what the correct (recommended) torque is for the stock bolt?

If you know, please post.

Don't know the actual value, but just use the usual German torque...

Gudentight.

Seriously, just make it snug. There is no science to it.

I suggest a drop of blue locktite on the threads
I had mine loosen up after an afternoon of shooting.
A drop of blue locktite and it has stayed tight, but can
still be undone if necessary.

it needs to be on there pretty good.
couple times i havnt put it on tite enough and it starts loosening up.
titen it till you cant wiggle the stock, then just a little titer.

I too experienced the "loosening" and did not enjoy it.
I fixed it by reaming on the bolt (out in the field with a screwdriver) - I wanted to do a nice job since I am at home and in a relaxed setting

Hehehe... I got a reply from Hogue "Snug, then 1/8 turn." I will try a setting with my torque wrench that I think it should be and post results later when I've confirmed it to be good

stock torque

I 'm not sure for the Rem. 870, but just to give you an idea. For a Beretta 391, the owner's manual on page 27, states it's 11.6/13.0 ft/lbs.

Well, I just put it on and feel that 45in/lbs is the magic number.
It's not too tight to crush the plastic stock and not loose enough to come loose.

If I never post here again it means 45in/lbs worked
Gonna test it out tomorrow ~Cheers
