Putting my zero stop ball bearing in but as you can see the post that stops against the ball isnt quite aligned with the marks. Question: can that ring with the post on it move? If so how. If not whats the best tool to take a bit off the left side?

Yes it can move
Its a friction fit
Safest method to move it right a tiny bit? Tap it around?Quote:

Carefully Lift it off with a flat bladed screwdriver by levering evenly around underneath itQuote:

Mmm ok now the post in is the right place but the turret when secured back on doesn't feel very good. Does that ball bearing need to be in flush with the top of the recess? Or maybe that ring isn't on enough.......
Oh bro shes fuckedQuote:

Ball needs to sit slightly proud, so it 'clicks' into place, when going back to zero position IMO.
If it's hitting a 'post', then ball will stop ring from moving when in position.Or it needs a drop of lube, to smooth the turns.
My $0.02 worth. :ORLY:
Generous to a fault you are Brads
Wally, that will never work. It's fucked
I didQuote:

All good now its in all the way

Thanks @Gibo. I was also wondering if the prising off and moving of the bearing ring with the post on it could compromise the gas seals?
This is interesting because I checked my VX3 cds and VXr patrol (mils) and AR Mod 1.(mils). All are the same setup and all could have a b bearing zero stop fitted assuming no harm caused by doing so.
love your work @Gibo!
Safe as houses mate. Just be aware once you put that ball in she aint coming back out:DQuote:

I done it on my moa cds dial that came with it. I could still use my cds coupon and get another moa disl with no ball bearing so its not a final move
Nice one ! forgot about that option :thumbsup:
Mines on a bush gun too and the 13.5 odd moa i get is heaps for my 308, get out to 550 yards :thumbsup:
Yep. I reckon on 6.5, 308, 30-06, 270 and magnums 12-13 moa will get out to 600+ which is all most of us will ever need.
Thats the bugger all right
