Could someone measure the diameter of their 30mm ring lapping bar. I know it should be 30mm but I'm not sure if they make them slightly over sized. Thank you. | ||

Best to measure your scope and make it that diameter. I have a one inch lapping bar which measures, one inch OD. | |||

I just don't want to pay $60-$70 for a steel bar. I think I may go the wrought of bedding the bottom halves of the rings with JB Weld, $5 Just trying to keep my scope from slipping on my 416 remington. I'm using Talley 1 piece aluminum rings. I'm going to try and find some rosin to add. Ideally I'd like to have a solid machined 1 piece base and ring system like the DNZ game reaper, but I can't find anything like that that fits the hole spacing of the Winchester M70 safari | |||

29.997mm ...... The OP asked what the bar measures .....so I told him what mine measures. You couldn't just... "go on" ...you had to let us all know Now I know why I've always thought you are a fuckin jackass ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

All I did was use my computer's conversion program; it said that 1.1811 is 30 mm. I am not trying to be a jackass, fuckin or any other kind. Sorry if I offended you, or anyone else. I was just trying to show some numbers to help the OP; maybe I didn't. Certainly not trying to place any aspersions on you or your report. I wouldn't do that. Hace a nice day. | |||

Man! That was totally uncalled for. Tom has gone WAY out of his way to help a bunch of people here on AR, me included. And been a complete Gentleman at all times. Totally uncalled for, and you, if half a man should apologize. | |||

I'm sure he is....but He has been quite sarcastic toward me several times through the years when I have asked a questions here on this gunsmithing forum...... He's lucky to have a couple guys to hop on and help him out ..... ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

The people that stepped up for him, probably would have stepped up for you too in a similar situation Ted. Tom probably would have too.  Just saying.When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years! Rod Henrickson | |||

I would not recommend steel for a lapping bar. For mine, I used 32mm cast iron bar stock and turned that down to 30mm. Brass would also be better than steel if cast iron is not available. Don't worry too much about hitting the diameter down to the last micron - lapping rings is more about alignment than about perfect diameters, especially in aluminum rings. | |||

Not sure I want to be part of this mess but I always thought the bar would be undersize to make up for grit size of the abrasive. | |||

That's our little teddy; open mouth and insert foot. And vulgar to boot. DPCD is one of the finest people on this forum. He is always willing to share his expertise and experience on gunsmithing issues. He has likely done more rifle building this past six weeks or so than you have in your entire life. You, on the other hand have contributed absolutely NOTHING to this thread. Mark Twain is quoted as saying that "profanity is the sign of a feeble intellect or extreme laziness. He must have had you in mind... | |||

No, 1.181 inches is actually 29.9974 mm. But of course 30mm is actually 1.1811024 inches - give or take.  The things people choose to get upset about.  . | |||

My 30MM lapping bar measures 1.184. | |||

+1 on both points Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Wrong . It was Spencer W. Kimball (a Mormon) who said "Profanity is the effort of a feeble brain to express itself forcefully." One of Twain's many comments on profanity; "Profanity is more necessary to me than is immunity from colds." And there are others. Next time, before quoting someone, you might want to have your shit together. | |||

ah teddy... trying to shift attention away from your inbred PWT propensity for expressing yourself at the lowest level again. craigster, failed again, eh? Your guy was less than a century late in mis-quoting Twain. And repeating a lie won't increase your standing here any, either. Here's a second chance for you. IIRC, it was John Wayne who said, life is hard. It's even harder when you're stupid... take care, and have a happy turkey day. Rich | |||

Nope..... I have no need to shift any attention DPCD and I are fine As for you......I don't like you You sir are a Dick Amongst other colorful things Now..... you have the gaul to bring my parents into you're reply What an ass..... Rich, when you drop off the face of the Earth a pile of people around here will crack a smile in hearing the news...... please don't be tardy Though I do hope you live long enough to meet my wife. I could quote Mark Twain on that one but I will skip.... ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

Ted Don't let Idaho Shart shooter get under your skin. He's a proven idiot, liar and blowhard full of threats and posturing. Trust me he's not worth getting frosted over. If we were all dealing with each other face to face instead of through these internet boxes we'd be a lot more civil with our retorts. If not there would be a couple bloody noses then everyone would understand that they were runnin their mouth when their ears should have been on point.... | |||
