Moving the trigger WAY back on a LP-10

I'm shooting an LP-10 for AP, and love it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels better than the older Morini 162E I was shooting.
Except that with the factory grips, my finger is too short to make proper contact with the trigger - even with the trigger at the rear of its adjustment, I wind up pulling the right edge, not squarely. Which makes it tricky... :-)
Anyone have any good ideas of how to solve this? Different grips, perhaps? Nills (which fit my hand perfectly on a Hammerli 480)? Rinks?
Thanks.

Call Pilkingtons and get an LP1 trigger blade.
This is what Warren recommended when he and I were communicating about the LP1.
I have small hands and short fingers.
The next option, is to file the wood from the top back of the grip, where the web of your hand goes. This brings the top of your hand closer to the trigger.
On my Walther CPM1, I had to both grind the trigger shoe thinner and file the back of the grip, so I could reach the trigger and position my finger on the trigger.

Steyr lp1 blade.
You can also try screwing up at all the two little screw on the frame, under velocity screw. Make sure velocity screw doesn't touch wood (it doesn't).

I have an LP1 trigger blade and also removed wood from the grip and now have a good fit for my short fingers. Instead of removing wood from the outside of the grip, I removed it from the inside - behind the L shaped metal mounting plate. In fact I removed so much wood from the inside that I broke throught and had to do a little epoxy repair. I prefer this method as it does not disturb the external contour of the grip, which I like.
