The end result of precision machining Indicating collars
The end result of precision machining. Full contact of both locking lugs without lapping on this receiver. If lapping, is required after truing, it will take a very minimal lapping to make full contact with both lugs. Indicating collars used for truing other actions. About the only action I won't true is the Ruger 77 Mk II.
