[QUOTE="theflyonthewall, post: 577358, member: 35305"] First....apparently you totally misunderstood what I was trying to convey. Maybe that's my fault for not being more clear. What I was saying was referring to the use of the lapping bar and TURNING it in the rings, not simply sliding it forward and backward. Secondly, who said anything about grooves? I was illustrating one way to increase friction buy abrading the surface of the rings perpendicular to the direction in which the scope was slipping. That's a frictional increase no matter how you slice it. Third....I find it highly unnecessary and arrogant of you to ASSUME that someone knows "nothing about clamping forces"simply because you seem to disagree. Clamping force is nothing more than equally applied pressure at a given measure.....in the use of threaded fasteners of a given stretch factor, the measure that we use in this country is ft/lbs of torque. Therefore if one cannot use fasteners that can safely apply greater torque load to the object that one is applying pressure to, then one cannot increase the torque load. In our example of a rifle scope being mounted, we know that there is only "so much" torque that can safely be applied before we damage the scope tube. Therefore simply applying more clamping force (that I apparently know nothing about) is not an option. So what's left? Adding more friction. [/QUOTE]
