Figured I would post what I was doing in the appropriate part of the forum. Over three months ago, I told a buddy I was going to convert my model 116 to a center trigger to use as a hunting "pistol" for when I move back to Alaska. He laughed as others did, but I keep going. Before you yell NFA, the gun is 26.5" without the brake, and the barrel is over 16". Still considered a rifle by the ATF.
From the build:

Made the Trigger
Made the link system
Put on the 308 17" mcgowen barrel and muscle brake
Made the stock
Weaver 2.5-8x28
weaver long action base
leupold rings.

Going to punch some holes in paper tomorrow.
