I don't torque it at all.  I put a rubber o-ring/band under the wood-metal point and just tighten the screw enough it doesn't want to fall out.  That way the barrel is kind of free floated and has less tendency to creep with heat.

That's covered in the FAQs, you'd save time by spending a little time reading there before posting questions, common questions like that have been asked a million times before, use the F3 page search for specific key words like torque in this case or forend to answer other questions you'll certainly have.  ;)
