[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 618930, member: 39764"] So do I actually. Vertically split rings, so long as they are of quality manufacture (like Warne) should (I say should) go back together the same as when taken apart so long as you don't interchange the half segments front to rear or rear to front. The cross slot insert aligns the segments and even torque assures even seating. I've never had an issue. Not to say I won't, but so far, no. Besides, I like being different.....:) Soon as ypu put the alignment/lapping bar in the rings and rotate it once or twice (with compound on it of course) and remove it, you'll know if the inner bore(s) are aligned or if there are high/low spots. The the 'fun' begins.... In the trades we call the take apart put back together 'repeatability' I tend to put witness marks on everything anyway, to insure repeatability, in the case of rings, paint marks. No center punching allowed....:D [/QUOTE]
