Rifle Scopes What are you guys using to lap 34mm rings?

[glock24]

It is a Stiller base and Seekins rings, so I hope I won't need to lap, however I need a plan B if that isn't the case.

Anyone make a 34mm lapping bar for less than $125 (Kokopelli Products)?

When I had a set of 35mm rings, I bought some 35mm precision round stock through McMaster-Carr and used Vice-Grips for a handle. Unfortunately they don't seem to sell the larger OD metric stock anymore.

this is a source of controversy, but on rings that nice i'd say put the grit paste down and back away...

Dont lap aluminum rings the andodized finish is much harder then the aluminum underneath.

If you decide you really need one let me know. I have one you can use. All you have to do it pick up shipping both ways. I made mine out of the bar stock you were talking about. I also use the Seekins rings on my AI AE with the factory base. Mine needed to be lapped (IMHO) before mounting the USO. Never had a problem and would do it again.

That said, there are a lot smarter guys on here than me.
