Just how many foot pounds of torque
Ruger SAs are known to sometimes have barrels screwed in so tight that they are actually swaged down slightly, creating a constriction just ahead of the forcing cone. I've heard of several guns that showed poor accuracy due to this, most often .45s. Don't know how they accomplish this - they must have a hellacious machine or an ex-Alabama lineman with a BIG wrench installing barrels.
