{made my Ruger Mark 3 receiver from a plece of %" schedule 80 aluminum 6061-TS alloy pipe.
‘The 1.050" OD of the pipe is turned down to 1.00" - 0,008", and the 0.742" ID ofthe pipe is bored out to 0,750" + 0,004", on a lathe,
(One end of the pipe is then counter-bored to 0.765" I, toa depth of 0.650", and this end is then tapped 13/1620 forthe barrel. The pce is then
parted off and trimmed toa length of 5.300" ~ 0,005",
(Once you get the receiver blank fished on the lathe (or f you got one from Matrix Precision or wherever), I's ready for milling operation.
Next you want to screw the barrel nto the receiver blank hand tight (make sure there are no burrs an the receiver blank before you do this).
hold the blenk in @ small miling vise using 4/8" thick plastic (cpve) pads cut fom a large sheet, to protect the surface
‘The receiver blank will ned to be held in the vise so that approximately 0.25" is above the top ofthe vise aw. To do this, I've used two parallel bars
as spacers and Tve also used a Ruger factory ral as 8 spacer as shown Inthe picture,

Put the receives blank and barrel assembly in the vise so that thee is approximately 3” offre and clear overhang on the let hand sie, (This is
rRecassary to allow enough room to dil the 5/16" through-role forthe Balt stop pI).
‘Next loosen the vise slghty and rotate the assembly clockwise (Jeoking Into the muzle end ofthe barel) unt the font sight ls about 20 degrees
Shore of te "bottom dead center" poston; |e, the font sight souls Be at approximately tne S100 fo 5:30 position ax shown Below. This isfy

‘Once the assembly isin the proper postion, tighten the vse. (IF nacessary, the barrel end ofthe recelver can always be sanded down later If proper
Ingexing cannot be obtained: keeping in mind that each 0.001" of materia removed correspon ta approximately 7 degrees of rotation},
