I kind of wanted to see the overall consensus in a general way before I got too specific. A friend of mine has been complaining about these mounts in his rifle (picture below). The heads of the screws do the actual clamping. He says he tightens one side to the required torque and when goes to...

Two screws set 180 from each other. They are being used to clamp something between them. The object is able to move freely before clamping but is not able to compress. Tighten one screw (a) until it touches the object. Torgue the other screw (b) to 45 in-lbs. What is the resulting torque to a?

Thank you
