[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1947707, member: 93138"] I have the Wheeler kit because it was the easiest way to get the lapping bars. I do not use the alignment bars and never have. I should probably put them in the Rems bin for the lathe. I have been known to clamp the rings down on the lapping bar before assembling them onto the rail. Even then I take a light lapping pass, just to see where they are. I find the lapping compound supplied in the kit to be far, far too coarse. I tend to use much finer grit Clover compounds. I usually finish up with 600 grit. Pretty hard to go too far with that grit compound! [/QUOTE]
