OK, I have a Weatherby Vanguard in a MDT chassis. I tried to straighten the trigger shoe to make it fii my hand better and I snapped the cast piece in two. I am going to need to have it tig welded back together, and then reshape it by hand with a file. If I am going to do this, it might be easier to just cut it back, and replace the entire shoe with a straight shoe which is maybe a 1/4” longer. These dimensions would be ideal. Now, where would I get material to make the shoe out of? Any ideas? I’d love to end up with something similar to this picture.

Why not just replace the trigger? You will get a better pull than a factory trigger and can get the shoe you want whether straight or curved.

Thanks. Bought a Rifle Basix to replace it. Weatherby then stepped up and replaced it gratis. New Basix is a huge improvement. Mercedes vs. Cadillac difference.
