[QUOTE="Inkognito, post: 448721, member: 27255"] JRu: Thanks for some very helpful information. I'm sure the TRG trigger group would be very expensive if I could even find it. Since I am replacing the original stock I have to get new bottom metal anyway. I am wondering if it would be possible to get bottom metal that will take my TRG-S trigger group (as I am very pleased with it) but also take a TRG 42 magazine? Probably not, but I will explore that option. I should back up and say that the only reason why I am contemplating this whole project in the first place is because the barrel that comes on a .338 Lapua TRG-S has a 1-12" twist. This limits me to shooting bullets no heavier that 250 gr. I thought maybe I could be content with that, but alas, I really want to try some heavier Barnes bullets like the 285 gr. So, I have to rebarrel and since I am going to rebarrel it only makes sense to go with a heavier barrel on something like this which means I also have to get a new stock that will allow for the thicker barrel. And while I'm at it I've been told by many people that it would be foolish not to upgrade the recoil lug that is, in many people's opinion, the weak link in the TRG-S design. So, that is where I am at. The TRG magazine is just a rabbit I am chasing in this already complicated project. I probably should just go with the 26" barrel. No sense in doing all this and limiting the potential to save 3 inches in barrel length. Its not like this is going to be my concealed carry weapon or anything :) [/QUOTE]
