    Not sure about your question but I converted one of mine to rear trigger, added an Elf trigger and dropped into one of Joe Updike's pistol chassis system (Accurate Rifle Systems). It was an easy swap and I love the chassis system.

    I realize the atf requirements but i have a plan to build a rear grip striker from a long action with wood stock. Has anyone done this? Does it make any sense? I can build any barrel length I want with a multitude of calibers.

    Left hand Model 12 repeater short action, single shot adapter plate/follower, Accu Trigger. One of the last rear grip stocks to come out of Alaska. Can't remember the makers name but I had to beg to get this one. Carbon fiber over lay with about a zillion coats of candy red clear.
    Sold it as it didn't get shot enough. Started out as a .204 Ruger but ended up as a 20 VT. Fluted bolt body be Sharp Shooter Supply, tactical bolt handle for extra leverage, ejector rod/spring removed, brass stays on the bolt head till "I" pick it off.
    This Model 12 action is now used in my right hand bench rest thumb hole stock. Right bolt handle slot plugged and re cut on the left side. Right hand stays in the thumb hole for stock/rifle control while free left hand works the bolt and feeds ammo. Hard to go back to a right hand action after shooting this set up.

    Just a thought but, If you're not "$old" on the chassis style stock system, you might consider a Richard's Micro-Fit laminated pistol grip stock. Cut the back end off just behind the pistol grip, shorten the fore arm to your liking. A little work with a saw and sand paper and you're good to go.
    LOTS of laminated colors to choose from. And for the price of the chassis system, you can probably buy 3 or 4 Micro-Fit stocks and whatever you do to it, makes it YOURS!!

    Another stock to consider for conversion is the Choate Ultimate Varmint. Get one with your action details, cut the rear off and sand/finish. I have one I have done this way and like it alot. Here's the link to a Savage long action left hand:

    Here's a pic of my finished version. If it's a rifle action just keep the barrel length longer than 16" and overall length longer than 26". This one is a 17" .223 and overall is 27".

    Pic won't work for some reason...trying to add it again....can't get it to work, here's a link to click

    Nice picture, this was a short action I presume I am starting with a long action and can keep those lengths.? What did it weigh, did you holster it or use a sling?

    Yes that one in the pic is a short action. A long action will easily be over 26” with a 16” barrel. This girl here is heavy, it’s a 12FV at heart and the barrel is a heavy varmint profile. That stock is full aluminum bedding blocks also. Scope and all, I’m guessing 8-9 pounds? I’ve never took it hunting just playing from the bench at targets and steel. If I were to carry it it would definitely be a sling setup.

    With this stock, I didn’t build it up… just cut off the rear and sanded until I was happy with it. Here’s a link to the Specialty Pistols forum post that has many more pics and details about it. Sorry to just link you to another site but I’ve already got it typed up there with pics embedded
