[S-A-M3]

I have had the same problem wth barrel indexing, in both cases I unscrewed the barrel and got the foresight vertical, did not affect grouping at all. Barrel torque settings are over-rated, have seen good shooting range-rifles that have hand tight barrels!

S-A-M3 same here. I don’t use torque as a primary indicator either ( within reason ). The one exception is when I build national match AR platform rifles. The torque I use is a bit beyond shall we say what is Mil spec. I have fitted, indexed, and re-indexed barrels ( new and used ) on Garands, M1As, ARs, K98Ks, L1A1s, Lugers, Model Ps and more commercial stuff than I can count. The LE will be just fine when finished.
