Talk to me about torque! Armourer-type question (Mr. L?)

[Peter Laidler]

No, we didn't have particular torque settings for most weaponry, just a sensible '...tight so that it won't vibrate loose' gauge. The screws did work loose occasionally but where there was a problem, they would be staked.

I was just trying to think of what screws on the big Bren and Vickers or GPMG's worked loose but nothing that I could recall was a problem

Good question though!
