Squirrelhunter91 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 AJ, My dad and I took your advice from your How I install scopes thread and used it to mount our scope on our AR-15. Here are two pics that you can use in your instructional thread if you would like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ QUOTE ] Joe, did you lap your rings too, or just used that to align your rings ? too_ [/ QUOTE ] Joes dad here... We just alligned the rings with those 1" aluminum dowles I had spun up at my friend motorcycle shop. They were Extra high weaver style bases(from Tapco) right to the flat top reciever. We did not lap the rings, or purchase or rent a ring reamer So the REAL title to this thread should be... Took SOME of AJ's advice We went thru 500 rounds of .223 last weekend, the gun is shooting good groups(2") out to 100 yards.... thats all we are looking for from this gun right now.

AJ Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Re: Took AJ\'s advice... Looks good. With the light recoil of the .223 in the gas operated AR, there wil not be a big gain from lapping. Lapping just allows the rings to get a better bite on the scope. Kind of like holding a broom stick in your hands (palm up) and only closing 2 fingers. As long as there is not a great force trying to move it it will stay there just fine. If someone trys to yank it out of your hand, you want all of your fingers holding on. Thats what lapping does.
