CZ 550 American Safari Magnum Question

[menacingsquirrel]

I have a CZ 550 American Safari Magnum and want to know the torque specs for the trigger guard screws and the forward recoil lug screw on the barrel. I sent an email to CZ USA but haven't heard a response. The stock is wood. Caliber is 375 H&H if it makes any difference.

Thanks,
MS

About 22-25 inch pounds as I recall. The torque is related to the screw size. They really only need to be tight enough to not rattle out. Be sure the steel "recoil plate" is properly installed on the stock before reinstalling the wood, that is what handles the recoil not the screws.
