So, I think my MA-TEN's rail is slightly out of spec since my rings, if tightened by hand (no tools) are still loose. When hand tightening the rings onto the PRI rail that I had, they got tight with a gap for more tightening.

Now, I can tighten the Rings down to correct torque specs and it seems to be tight.

Question is, should I buy another set of rings or is there a way to test to make sure the Rings are tightened down sufficiently? Current rings are TPS aluminum rings. Never had a problem with them in the past.

Thoughts?
