timing and torque are irrelevant with a short chambered barrel with no sights.
it simply doesn't matter how the barrel is lined up, as long as it is tight.
as for torque, that is up to you, and what you are comfortable with.
most gunsmiths I know, usually take it up to "Hand tight" make a mark, and then take it 1/8 inch past and that is good! Any tighter is simply not required

what about the timing

Great video. Excellent, short explaination of how to install a barrel. I doubt Larry reads this posts, but maybe his minions do. If Larry produces more full length video gunsming videos (he has a couple out right now) he can run AGI out of business. Midway's video quality is second to none and his Larry's ability to teach is beyond dispute.

Larry, is there a recommended torque spec?
-
I totally agree
-
I was thinking the same thing. The finishing of the chamber, and headspacing is the part of the process that I'd like to see. I do love this series though.
