Title: Beeman R1 Stock Screw Torque in Inch Pounds?
Post by: SSchmidt57 on March 26, 2014, 02:08:21 PM

I have an older R1 (Santa Rosa) that I dug back out of the gun safe to get reacquainted with.  I have searched the site for a starting point in Inch Pounds for the front and trigger guard stock screws.  Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks... I should have started out with something other than making a request  ;D ... With the shortage of ammo it was great connecting with my old friend (Beeman R1)

shoot for around 15 in lbs if you need an approximate number. don't forget blue lock tite.

Richard... thanks for the warm welcome...

Josh... Thanks for the direction.  I have the R1 tightended up and ready to go. 

Pellets are much better on the wallet than the 338 Lapua

A while back I did some searching for the recommended torque of 5mm screws like those used for the HW95/R9 forearm stock mounting screws. Well....I was surprised by the lightness of the recommended torque for a 5mm screw (only about 2 foot pounds). Since learning this a while back I haven't been "cinching the screws down TIGHT" , only "Just snugging them down" and they do stay with the "blue LocTite".

Here are a couple links to bolt torque specs and even a link to a "Nm to lb ft" converter.

Ed,
Thanks for the advice.  I does seem logical ( 2ft lbs = 24 In lbs)  this is in line with my thinking.  Based on all the input I will test for accuracy starting at 15 in lbs and moving up to say 25 In lbs.

I was only throwing out a rough guess, as 15 in lbs is for the front forearms screws of a fwb 124, which in turn if loctited  just snug would likely do the job without interfering with accuracy.
