indexing screw heads
well two things need to happen to have the trigger guard flush with the wood and the screw slots line up north and south as the gun came from the factory. There are two problems here. One is using the old screws and the other is using new screws. If you can use the old screws and the screw is stripped out,drill the stripped out hole with a 1/4 inch drill bit,plug the hole with a glued in 1/4 inch dowel and start over. Put the trigger guard in place. Carefully find the exact center of the hole in the trigger guard, mark it on the wood and drill a small undersized hole in the plug being careful to get the pilot hole perpendicular on two axis to the face of the trigger guard. Proceed from here with my last posting. If you are using new screws. To make it really correct you will need a screw with a narrow screw slot. Gazalan has them. On a new screw that has not been filed to the curve of the trigger guard, you have a 180 degree chance of hitting it close. From here go back to my original post. Tom
