Thanks to Rhino_66 the build is going well. My next question is ,is this the file I need to reduce the rail dovetail to the proper dimensions? http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=698&title=SIGHT+BASE+FILES Thanks! :thumbup1:

That should do the trick.

I recommend you file the scope itself, rather than the rail.
You'll be there all day.....

 

[Rule .308]

You wish you would only be there all day. I spent countless hours filing away on that darned thing and barely put a dent in it. The way my rail measured up it needed in the area of .065-.070 removed and the rails themselves weren't much over .075. So this dictates that I needed to remove .030+ from each rail to make it work. In the end I ordered up a $35.00 60 degree dovetail bit to cut them with and promptly shattered it In the end I managed to get one of the rails done and I have two of these that I am building. I'm also figuring out that getting Plinker's jig in there to do the rear most rivets in the front trunion is a bit of a challenge as well.

I filed the scope clamp to fit my Romak. Soft alloy, garden variety file. My only worry is if the scope had a problem, would I have voided any warranty it may have had.

I filed the rail as well. It only took me 30 minutes. Dremmel got it close, finished with a file. Titgher than a knats ass

can you say die grinder?? it took about 20 min to rough it out and 30 min to finish up. it is still prety tight but I guess that is good. also you will find you have to adjust the adjust nut some. it is close but it will make it fine.
