[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2157240, member: 66917"] Before cutting any metal off your rings, mount up the rings and use a pair of scope alignment bars and check the front to rear alignment. You may not need to lap anything. If you are using a Picatinny Rail bedding it will take you farther to truth than lapping. Bedded a rail is really easy but you need to do all the prep work to make it go smoothly. Its very similar to paint prepping. If your using the Talley single piece ring/base setup having them pinned like Gunwerks does is a good idea and more effective than lapping but it involves a gunsmith. If you do end up lapping, less is more, use the alignment bars to check alignment often during the process. If I was lapping I'd only lap the bottoms. [/QUOTE]
