I decided that the trigger on my AR-50 was a little thin and to close to grip. My solution was a 3/8" brass pipe plug. Whittled down makes a nice trigger shoe.

Re: 3/8" Pipe plug on my AR-50
I had adjusted it to have no creep and about 3lb pull, but the trigger was way to narrow with a sharp edge. The length of pull from the grip to the trigger was short for me also this solves all problems. With the use of a hack saw, file and a sanding drum on the drill press, I was happy with the result.

Nice work. That monopod looks pretty slick too. Gives me an idea for my current frankenproject.

The mono pod is a 3/8" coupling nut screwed/epoxied to a plate of aluminum, filled and contoured will epoxy paste. The rod is a piece of all-thread with a keg pump knob on it. All in all it is very stable, user friendly and adjusts well.

Re: 3/8" Pipe plug on my AR-50
Very cool. I made a trigger shoe for a "long range" AR a few years ago out of an old 1911 trigger. I cut the bow off and ground the old trigger to fit the face of the AR trigger. It worked great. I've got a couple of friends who have done some pretty cool mods to their AR50s. Widened fore ends for bench shooting, hinged cheekpieces that ride over the bolt when it's opened, etc.
