Top of Page 13, states: Tighten the receiver screws to a torque of 7 Nm (62 in-lbs) in metallic trigger guards and max 5 Nm (44 in-lbs) in plastic trigger guards.. “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

He's asking about the big Allen screw that holds the trigger assembly to the action, not the bedding screws. To reply to the OP's question, I don't know, but it's pretty darn tight. I've swapped T3 triggers and it took a little Neanderthal strength. P Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable.
