  This is just a guess. I doubt the screw is sensitive to specific torque value. That would be counter to the purpose of a takedown rifle of that type. I bet snug will be adequate.

  Welcome to the forum
  I called Marlin regarding torque for a similar rifle, they recommended 30 inch pounds.  Give them a call to check yours

  Snug tight.  Average gun owners back then, and even now, don't have torque wrenches.

  Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.

  Hell, on that sort of gun, probably not even the factory.  Go a quarter to half turn past the point the metal stops wiggling in the wood and call it a day.
