Maybe one of you can steer me right. I am putting together a left hand #12 action, new from the custom shop, into a cut down vlp stock. The stock is being duplicated by a fellow over in east TN with a dakota 5 axis cutting machine. And it ain't too bad a price. Decided to try it as a det/mag, that's what the custom shop shipped. He will cut the butt off and add some width/length in the grip to make a rear pistol grip, (I will attempt to try and shape to my fit).

Here's my trigger question: this pistol is rear grip and will use the standard accu-trigger and metal guard, no problems there. What would it take to make a savage action mid grip? After handling a xp 100 with a mid grip, what a great little frame for a carry field pistol!

Can the trigger be moved forward and use a linkage? I haven't torn down a striker or xp to look at how those triggers are fitted. And is that something a good smith could duplicate?
