Could milling rings from 34 to 35 “Hawkins hybrids” show strength/integrity problems on larger calibers?

[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 3084922, member: 103303"] According to some in the industry, raw aluminum gives better grip than ano. Area 419 had some testing done on this. You'll be removing less than .020" of material - from an engineering perspective, that's really not a lot. Practically speaking, the biggest challenge I see is fixturing. Might be better off honing than milling, as aluminum has a tendency to move... (Especially that soft 6061 stuff 😜) Hard to see the juice being worth the squeeze when a guy can just sell the 34mm rings in the classifieds, and pickup some 35's. Just my .02 Edit: Whoops, didnt realize that 'hybrid' 35's are not yet available... [/QUOTE]
