i been having a little difficulty installing and removing the trigger housing group on a new bm59. it turns out the clearance for the trigger guard lugs is about 1/16" less on the bm.
note the difference in thickness between the rifles on the forward part of the lug.

could there have been a machining error on my bm59?

i don't see how it could be correct because the bm59 trigger housing lugs are scored and shiney, also the bm59 trigger housing group will fit into a garand reciever just fine (without the wood). the stocks are not interswitchable beacuse of the winter trigger.
