Curious...don't mean to get off track...how would you make it fit better without grinding back of trigger guard?
The issue starts when a customer orders a stock pattern that clearly isn't going to accept the Model 70 bottom metal well. That's one of the reasons that McMillan condensed some of their offerings. Certainly, the stock companies should be advising customers of these cosmetic issues.
When I do them, it really depends on the stock....whether it's a molded in pattern or one that going to be painted. How open the grip is plays a big part.
I also have a supply of long discontinued genuine Winchester pre-64 steel trigger guards where the moronic angled rear section is flat.
Good shootin' -Al
