Good video, but towards the end it makes mention of torqueing the gas block bolts down to 109 inch pounds? Is this correct? At least that's what I thought I heard.
A safety first, IE-check your chamber, make sure the rifle is unloaded introduction may not be a bad idea. Yeah, it's common sense , but some don't have it. Overall, very nicely done! |

Yeah, I thought it was either 109, or 190 inch pounds. On the Adams Arms thread in the AR New Products thread, the question was raised several times. From what I remember, the recommendation was for 45 inch pounds. |

So I did 110 in lbs. |

I'm sure A.A. will chime in with the correct torque setting.
ETA: Page 26 of the A.A. thread in NEW AR PRODUCTS. NOTE: It was established within the thread that the torque setting was in inch pounds, not foot pounds. Quoted:
The Actual torque is 45"lbs. Below is a link to our web site with the updated directions. They may appear long but if read the actual install is a breeze. Anyone who has installed one of our systems will tell you the hardest part of the install is reading the directions. They are extremely thorough. The updates include proper shoulder spacing and the install of our spring behind the bolt. Adams Arms Updated Directions Thanks again Jim There was a post made in the A.A. Industry section recently: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=293&t=180591 Perhaps the original recommendation for 45 inch pounds proved insufficient, hence the higher setting? |

Sorry for the misunderstanding on the audio for the animation. When it was originally developed instead of the 90in lbs the voice guy said 190 and no one caught it. The video is being reworked now and will be updated. I know this; when you need something proof read this is the place to come All kidding aside. Thanks Guys Jim |

A couple of nit picks with the video. There's no mention of the modified gas key or the bolt spring. Around the 9:00 mark, the audio says drive tapered pins out right to left, but the animation shows them coming out left to right. I told you they were nit picks.  I know your instruction sheet covers these items quite well, but you know some people will use the animation for an installation guide and ignore the written directions.
("Directions? No, I'm not stopping to get directions, woman! We may be lost, but we're making good time.") Great product, btw. |
