[QUOTE="gslinger, post: 2375576, member: 47393"] I have nightforce rail and rings .nightforce say use there rail and rings no need to lap. I also have set of ATRS rings and rail and they say the same thing. I reversed the alignment bars and put a scope ring on one bar tighten them up. The ring would not pass from one bar to the other. Took out the two pieces and put in lapping bar.tighten back ring base to rail kept front base loose. Then tighten rings and then tighten front base. remove lapping bar and replace alignment bars with ring. Tighten alignment bars and still ring will not pass from one bar to other without lots of pressure pushing bars together. Did this with both sets same results. The nightforce was a little easier to pass the ring. I then pulled out my custom long action with built in rail .did same test and got same results. The ring would not pass without lots of pressure. This stuff buy good rings and rails and you won't need to lap . Well these ring are nightforce and ATRS Over $350 for each set. I order a 1 piece mount .will try same test when it arrives in a week or so. looks like I will be lapping for christmas [/QUOTE]
