the height of the stock from the receiver surface to the trigger guard pad surface affects how "tight" lockup can be. measure and compare to some of your M1's, you might be surprised.
its not a problem locking up the trigger guard. its hard to get the thing installed so i can lock up the guard.
i think the rear lugs are a bit compressed
Did you get it from Reese?
Do they look like this?

hi rotor.

thx,

These are pics of a BM59 trig assy I got from Reese last fall. I returned it because the lugs were "egged".
Check the wear marks in my pics to see if the match your part.

I dont' know if an M1 stamped guard will substitute but why fool around. If the lugs look like this they are definitely not new.

thanks rotor. i'll take a closer look. did you just return the trigger housing group or the whole rifle?
No, it was just the trigger group not a whole rifle.

i just sent an email to reese. they seem to be pretty nice folks.
