Thread: Lapping

For my 1 inch rings I cut 2 pieces of 1 inch shafting about 3 1/2 inches then I turned one end of each piece to a taper point. With lower part of rings in place on rifle put pieces of shaft on to rings with points facing each other. Any misalignment will show by the points not quite lining up.

To lap rings I got a piece of 25 mm shafting then when I wrap a piece of wet and dry paper around it it makes it up to 1 inch and I use it to lap the rings.
