Joes dad here... grin.gif

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 frown.gif

So the REAL title to this thread should be...

Took SOME of AJ's advice grin.gif

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.

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.
