In an essay, please address the following prompts:
1. Summarize the procedure you followed to mount, align, and lap the scope rings. At the end of your summary, explain whether or not you “over-lapped” the rings. If you did, what will you do in the future to avoid doing so?
2. Explain what the author means when he says that lapping rings aligns them to each other and the base they were mounted to. If rings have been lapped on a quality base, shouldn’t they be aligned if transferred to a different mount on another gun?
3. If asked by a customer to mount his or her scope, when would you recommend an up-charge for alignment? Are there instances when you wouldn’t recommend this process, such as the purchase of specific rings? What other procedures would you complete for the customer?
