Trigger Guard / Receiver "lock-in get mechanism" is Extremely Loose

[jak]

Any other options you can think of? I hate to bed, etc this rifle because it has beautiful furniture, was built by highly regarded 'smith, and if I go full high master on it I don't know if I would need to replace the anyway. But if bedding, etc is what is have to do to use the stock (and if that fixes the problem, that may be the only option left?

Thoughts.

Your thoughts?

You can cut out strips of wood veneer and glue them to the stock under the trigger guard. You may need
a couple of layers to get a tight lock up. The strips are not that noticeable once installed. You can also try to
stain the veneer to match the stock.

get a trigger guard with perfectly round lugs and see how lockup is. I have unissued guards if you decide to go this route. PM me if interested

I thin Orlando may be "The Man". I received a NOS trigger Guard from him today (right on schedule). Switched the existing one that was not locking in tightly, for his NOS Guard. Put it all back in my rifle, and it locks in properly, requiring a good amount of pressure to push the guard to engage the catch. I haven't shot it yet, but I fully expect it to work properly now.

Thanks again to Orlando!
