Could strip out the threads on the upper receiver if you go pass 80 ft-lbs.

You should start at 30 ft-lbs first until the torque wrench clicks, and then start then start aligning the gas tube holes with the upper receiver and barrel nut from this point on. I incremented at 5 ft-lbs until the hole in the barrel nut aligned with the gas tube hole in the receiver. Note that if the holes align before that torque wrench click at the next setting then that's OK and long as it clicked at the 30 ft-lbs first. I never heard of anyone getting near 80 ft-lbs?
