Fitting Jewell trigger to Win. Mod. 70?

[DRNewcomb]

Has anyone here fitted a Jewell trigger in a post-64 Winchester Mod 70 long action? The description on Brownell's says "fitting required". I was wondering how much of what is required and are there different triggers for Mod. 70s prior to the ca. 2008 "MOA triggers"?

Some Winchester and FN M70 type actions require the sear hole in the receiver elongated forward.

File work or milling machine?

Piece of cake in the mill. If you are good with a Foredom or Dremel that would work too. Cannot remember if that part of the receiver is file hard. Probably not. It's been a while since I have done one, you may want to contact Jewell for the exact procedure.
By the way, there is no "long action", only standard length and shorter.
