You never know until you try. The first light passes will leave a witness mark. This will tell you what you have and if more or none is needed.

new to magnified optics, what is ring lapping? |

I will attempt the short version;
It would be like a honing process. Done with both mounted 'bottoms' supporting a specific diameter and rigid precision lapping bar. A honing compound is between the bar and bottom rings pair. A carefully executed motion rubbs the compound between the bar and ring bottoms, all and at once. Wipe clean and observe alignment. |

Do NOT lapp LaRue rings. It is not required. And LaRue warns customers not to do it.

I just ordered the 1" mount. The customer service rep was going to have Mark call me back to let me know if I should lap them, but obviously you guys have the info.
I'm glad I caught Larue after they'd done a run of these. Thanks for the advice guys. What size torx key should I be using to tighten these? Is there a specific torque value I should use? |

They are already perfectly true from the factory, removal of material can only misalign the rings or make them too large or oblong.

It will come with the correct key, and some blue loc-tite. |
