With mainly doing the hand fitting on the rifle we are correcting a few problems that have come up. This issue is the trigger guard. The original design that we had did not have the correct look and was actually to close to the trigger it self.
The solid models for the new design trigger guard.
After shearing to the proper width and the guide pin holes drilled in.
The first style trigger guard. This was all wrong and also left no room for the trigger.
The second style increased the space for the trigger, but the angle of the stock lower support was incorrect and the lower stock support was now to short.
The shape and the diameter looks a great deal better with this new design.
There was a great deal of stretching with the single hole design
We went from a single hole design to a two hole design that later will be machined off and a single rivet hole installed.
The series of design changes to the trigger guard
After the first couple of ops.
After the second pressing
The older style trigger guard required a great deal of work to fit up and the angle was still not correct. Neither was the actual diameter size.
How the new design trigger guard fits
A video of the process.
Finally some new vg project info !
Keep it up
Actually every day something is accomplished on the rifle. We are doing a great deal of hand fitting and new welding, machining and engraving fixtures have been made.
So buildings jigs and such for production? Hope it’s not too far back on the back burner!
