    Let's put this to bed once and for all chaps............ If the front TG screw comes loose when you've been using it, it wasn't tight enough. So do it up TIGHT!

    Can I just add that torque wrenches are for modern weapons in synthetic stocks, (my US M24 SWS came with one), and not Lee Enfields. As Peter said, just do it up hand tight.
