Most people would assume that a manufacturer has torqued a barrel nut on properly, but in reality it would surprise you how many are only on hand tight, or worse, way over torqued.

how many times have you checked to make sure your barrel is screwed on tight on a brand new rifle I never have id expect it to be ready to shoot out of the box really

plus if you've read a couple of posts back I was intending to put another barrel on it anyway so pretty logical time to do it if I'm taking it apart I would of thought
