Ok,
So I'm gradually putting together my Grendel upper. I plan on using an Odin 18" barrel, and I'm using a 13" Geissele SMR. Now, Geissele recommends 40 ft/lb for their barrel nut. However, I've been reading a bit and it seems that 6.5 Grendel benefits from a higher torque setting (I see 60 ft/lbs is a common one). If I go that high, will it hurt the Geissele nut in any way? Would the torque to 35 ft/lb, then back off twice, then up it to 60 ft/lb be the way to go?
