    Torquing stock screws

    Hi guys.

    Came back from a week away where me and the gun got rather wet. I would've probably been drier in a swimming pool. Pulled stock of the rifle when got home to clean it all properly. Just wondering when putting it back on how important is it to torque the bolts correctly? Don't have a torque wrench that will quite go low enough. Torque specs are 4 nm and tool goes to 5nm. Can it realistically do any damage if I slightly over tighten them? If it will can anyone recommend where to get a realitively cheap small torque wrench.

    Cheers
