[QUOTE="theflyonthewall, post: 577337, member: 35305"] Personally......I think all of this is being overcomplicated. Why not mount the last set of rings that you lapped. Then instead of lapping compound, SCORE the inside of the rings with medium-course sandpaper carefully wrapped around your lapping bar? I'm not sure of what grit to use. Use your own judgement. But what your NEEDING is more grip from the rings. There's only two ways to do that in my mind. One is to use a great deal more clamping force to hold the scope. Which would likely be damaging to the scope tube, so that's out. The other way is to add more friction to the surface where the rings meet the scope tube. By precisely scoring the rings and leaving the sharp edges intact, the rings would "bite" the scope tube much better. [/QUOTE]
