[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 2389424, member: 16869"] It's my opinion that if whatever brand rings have aligned correctly upon installation (no binding - true to the bore) no lapping is needed. If lapping is needed I always lap both top and bottom, otherwise how do you know if you're addressing whatever problem? It's also possible to lap too much - resulting in loose rings. I clean the abrasive off the rings periodically to test fit the scope tube so I don't go too far. [/QUOTE]
