battle,
I haven't done a conversion on a stock that would be used. But I have converted a PG stock into a straight stock pattern. I raised the tangs which required a change to the inletting. I did this in the pattern with epoxys and bondo. But for a conversion where the stock is being converted and used as the finished piece, I don't know how you'd raise the tangs. In either method, a new long tang triggerguard or extension mod to the existing one is in order. Extending it is a fairly simple task. But it won't take certain high luster blueing without showing the weld in background. Rust blue will hide the weld.
With "they" (David T) being on this bbs, you might seek some advice from him directly.
