Ok, riddle me this batman....
If I have 2 piece "traditional" rings (not a Pepr style mount)....they say to align them using the pointed alignment bars, then remove those, then lap the rings to each other.
Why can you not just use the lapping bar to align them to each other? It seems to me a somewhat loosely fit ring on a lapping bar will self align on the rifle...then add lapping compound and away you go. What am I missing here? It seems to me the pointers add an extra step and additional difficulty thats not necessary.
