Quick question.... Are parts interchangable from a tapered delta ring to a flat delta ring... I like the looks of the flat better and dont know if i have to replace everything or just the delta itself. Thanks

Only the delta is different; the weld spring and retainer are the same.

ETA: Yes, the deltas are interchangeable.

For use the Delta is improved but either are interchangeable and pretty user friendly once the weld spring loses a bit with use.  They were changed for a reason.  Kinda depends on the build for me but I also have a few slip rings in stock and have to order delta rings.  I have pulled the barrel off a few fine shooting rifles just to make the swap.

Cdenmark - you have a good source for flat sliprings? I had a brand new one stashed somewhere but can't find it now. I won't need it for awhile yet, but it'd be nice to know where to get them. Seems like m1sniper posted a link not long ago but my search fu is weak...
