[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 867326, member: 34084"] Keep your rings clean. Remove any burrs on the edges. I recommend lapping the rings unless you know the base and rings are well made (fully machined rings, not extruded) and the base is properly installed. Then tighten the ring screws to the proper torque value.
