Barrel nut on new RPRF loose from factory
Got this rifle about a week ago, mounted up a scope and shot enough to get on paper, looked pretty good. The wind was very high so I quit. One thing I did notice was the handguard was not tight, it had a little movement, so I loosened and retightened the two screws. Seemed to be OK, no more movement, I thought. The screws were tight, but you could still twist the handguard. So I decided to remove the handguard. What was causing the little bit of movement was the barrel nut not tightened properly. I unscrewed it by hand. Came here to the forum to find out the torque the nut needed to be. Fixing to go back together with it.
