Just go by the MFG recommendations, it will tell on the paper work that comes with the rings. It will give the gaps for the size bore and what type of application you have!.. :good Did you get file to fit??.. :stupid

Yep, but I only had to file 2 rings... all the other were right down the middle of the recommendation.  

Seemed a little odd,  :stupid I just wanted to double check.

Thanks.

Mystery solved, they weren't a file fit set.  I ran the p/n on the side of the box.   :good
