Victor company rear lug retro fitted to a Ruger reciever

As the name and picture indicate Victors rear lug  was originally designed for a Kidd innovations receiver.
A great receiver in there own right . Some pony up and get one . Some have a stock action laying around that they want to accurize.
   The challenge from Michael Victor was can it be done with a stock Ruger.
I received the package and immediately started thinking about how to go about retrofitting.

The first challenge was the receiver is cast and has a draft along the back edge
The solution was to index off the bottom edges and square up the rear of the action in the milling machine

My next step after measuring and squaring up the receiver in the mill was to cut a female slot into the receiver to except the male slot on the lug . I used a bottom cutting end mill and left .003" clearance

After checking fit i moved onto locating the securing screw hole.

Drilling the pass hole was not a problem
Countersinking the head inside the cavity in the receiver presented the biggest challenge.  I used every thing i had in the shop . Drill bits grinders and a countersinking tool by hand.
I got it done and it looks good but a real challenge that requires a better tool

Countersinking is the most critical part of the install. The head of the screw has to be out of the way  to install the trigger group.
The completed install looks great

 With the install complete its time to put everything back together .
Look for the next chapter in this series
As we mate the block to the Victor company stock.
