Setting up to do my S12 conversion.Looking at the drawing on cross-conn

I notice that the length from the mag well to the rear of the receiver is 5.6",however my S12 is nutz on 6".Where do I put the PG hole?Do I still put it 1.625" from the rear of the receiver?

Thanx.

 

 

Also ,once the plate is removed from the bottom of the receiver how do you keep the safety lever from going all the way down?What are you using for a stop?

I recommend using the Tromix DIY trigger guard. It will solve all of the problems you mention, and is very easy to use.

I used a Tromix trigger guard for my S12 conversion. It looks very nice, is extremely easy to do and only took about 1 hour to convert. It would have been less if I had used the Tromix FCG, but I was cheap and used the TAPCO one (having to fit it to make it work).

 

God Bless,

I THINK you still put it 1.625" from the rear. But I have yet to do a non-DIY trigger guard conversion. As for the safty stop, look at the conversions on gunbroker. Some cut the plate in half keeping the stop where it is. Some move the stop up. Some weld a small bead to stop the lever.

I have decided to just move the stop forward and reinstall it.As for the placement of the PR hole ,ill measure it all out when my PG nut arrives and let you know where I put the hole.
