pistol grip to straight

[WilliamGuest]

Thanks for the reply..I know the difference..I guess I never worded it right. Would I lose much value if I used a long tang trigger guard on a new straight grip buttstock and keep the original guard for safe keeping, or should I just have the new stock made into a pistol grip as it would have been originally and then use the original PG trigger guard..

Thats kinda what I was thinking J.B. Books....I think I would rather have the straight grip...and get the original tang straightened out and some length added to the end to look something like the original straight grips do..

Then go confidently in that direction, it can be done. Somewhere along the way I saw a p/g trigger guard that had been lengthened and it looked factory. Somebody around here knows who can do it and hopefully they will come along soon with that info.

Well, The person that will be doing the wood and metal work on my gun is also a member here and also in Newfoundland, Chris Dawe. He has someone who does welding for him from time to time from what I understand, will probably check into that and throw it past him when we get to working on the gun.

Thanks again.

If it were me, I would put the PG trigger guard away, and buy the nice one that Galazan sells, have it engraved with the SN and then I would always have the option to restock it in the future, in it's original configuration. Once you modify the original one, there's no going back. Galazan's is $75, and to weld, finish and polish the old one, then have it re numbered in the correct location would, I'm sure, cost a lot more.

Yeah, I was looking at Galazan's...is very nice..I know there are a couple of options...Was just looking for someother opinions..Guess I got a little thinking on my hands...

I agree with Edgar. I would look foe an original straight grip bow(they are out there) and keep the original stock and bow together.
