I have noticed no actual torque specs for most FX rifles, in all videos it’s just finger tight with a T-handle or driver. Is this how everyone does it when re-assembling? Is it just by screw size in aluminum?
FX FX Torque Specs?

Well, it is not an Aircraft, but ypu can use general aviation bolt torque values. You can also just google a fastener torque chart.

I don't think that is FX specific here. Ikea furniture doesn't have torque specs either. 
Even compressors don't have torque spec's, but upon re-assembly one should note the most practical pattern and bolt torque during a rebuild of one.

Snug does it, if it stands a chance of working loose then a dab of Purple Locktite. That pesky cocking lever bloc deserves a double dose. I've never had anything work loose that wasn't tightened properly.

I would use the untreated screw black finish as a reference from the attached chart.
On my Crown I torque the action screws at 15 in/LBS.
For my scope rings I follow the manufacture recommended torque specs.

Sounds good to me, it just seemed strange for something under a lot pressure to not have specs. I’m good either way and I guess as long as it’s snug the orings hold the pressure.

I've heard that FX Airguns and Ikea furniture are made in the same factory in Sweden.I don't think that is FX specific here. Ikea furniture doesn't have torque specs either.

Or, maybe an IQ above 50? But seriously they aren't all that hard if you spend $50 on enough o-rings to rebuild it 20 times and take your time with some simple tools. THE hardest thing is the regulator there are two o-rings that are a bear to install without a very special tool, the secret is, to boil them the then install, much easier.

Google the metric screw sizes - generic torque. It is worth to print that sheet. I have one for my gravel bike fasteners on file in pdf.
Also a digital torque wrench worth any penny.

Clearly I struck a nerve....You think a 55 IQ person could disassemble and reassemble
