I need a narrower trigger guard for a Savage 12 VLP stock. The trigger guard mortise in the stock measures .565 wide. The later trigger guard I have measures around .605 wide. Screw spacing on both are the same (2.900) as are the length of 3.465.
Any sources appreciated. Thanks!
Why don't you just open up the slot, or did you break your milling machine?;)
Nope....just made pillars for a Sako I'm doing.Quote:

I wanted to keep this trigger guard with the stock it came on, is all.
I'll whittle an ADL to fit.
Yes, easiest just to open up the channel in the stock.

I cant stand the bubba approach. I once milled the sides of the TG to make it fit the narrow stock slot and one time I used a belt sander.
Not sure what's considered the "bubba" approach here?
I suffered through and modified a PTG for a Remington .
My comment was a generalized statement. The majority of time I will direct my derogatory comments to the "Bubba" if there is one. I am actually trying to be more tactful in my post due to the need to interpret inflection by people in general, but I rarely mince words if I disagree.
So as far as your work is concerned, I can't recall ever thinking you do "Bubba" things.
But if you ever question yourself....
Using a Dremel or carving out a trigger guard inlet so the guard will fit: You might be "Bubba" (unless of coarse you are really good with making it look professional afterwards)
I hope that clears the air.:cool:
I'm certainly a 'bubba' around nice wood, for sure! :o
