[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1131821, member: 25383"] I would go .001" undersize, and try it out on an old set of rings. The one thing I don't like about Thompson rod is that it's hard (62RC+). Ideally, I'd rather have something a lot softer, but also very round and strait. A piece of ground finished 8620 (also to the needed size) would be about perfect as it's somewhat porous and has a 15rc. Hopefully the compound would embed into the metal better. But there's a much better way to lap rings if you have access to a lathe. gary [/QUOTE]
