Now on to the lug.
The linear rail lug is wider at its base than the standoff molded into the transition.
I took the lug over to the bench sander and sanded away the flanges on the base until it took on the narrower profile of the standoff.
The lug was still longer than the standoff so I ground down the back end until it was the same length.
My plan is to get some screws, much smaller diameter than normally used for rail buttons, and drill some pilot holes in the standoff. I woud then epoxy the base of the lug to the standoff, insert the screws and fill the screw holes with epoxy.
Does that sound reasonable?
