176.31M1A scope mount questionsEPS::BIONDIGuns, The Teeth of LibertyFri May 23 1997 18:2523
    Hi,
    	I've just picked up a Third Generation scope mount for my M1A and
    I immediately noticed what I think is a problem.
    
    	A standard Weaver recoil lug is a between 1/2 to 2/3 the
    width of the recoil lug grooves on the Springfield "Weaver Rail?".
    
    	I've mounted a few Weavers before and have never seen this much
    variance in the widths before.  I think it's excessive.
    
    	What kind of rings should I be putting on this scope mount?  I've
    looked at GGG and MWG rings, both milled from solid steel with hex head
    screws and nuts, but I can't tell from the catalogs if these are going
    to be more of the same fit.
    
    	Any help with this will be greatly appreciated as I seem to be
    going blind and will not be able to see what this rifle is capable of
    until I get a scope on it.
    
    	Thank you,
