What do the rules say?

[longgun]

I'm putting together a new rifle and want to use an Anschutz trigger guard.  What do the rules say about how far down the bottom of the guard can be below the bottom of the stock , or what are the diminsions to be used?   I have a rule book somewhere but it is about 3>4 years old.   It will be much easier to fix it now than at Raton or Ridgway.   Thx  Don
