Any tension needed to insert and tighten both or either of the trigger guard screws will quite certainly have an effect on the sear on a No. 4 Mk 1 and usually leads to losing the two stage pull. Do not bend the trigger guard. Just remove very slight amounts of wood with a scraper until the trigger guard fits perfectly and the screws can be inserted without binding.

Most of us snug the rear screw first, then tighten the front trigger guard screw. The tension will keep the rear screw from coming loose.
I would guess that over half of the buggered rear screws out there are from attempting to move the rear screw while the front screw is still torqued.

ALWAYS insert the rear screw first. On a perfect 'trade test' rifle, the trigger guard will always lay flat in the recess. This is most important on a Mk1 and 1/1 rifle

Thanks, I will keep all this in mind. The rifle has a very good two stage pull now with a bit cleaning and grease. I found some crud and grit in the trigger pivot. All seems well and I hear we are in for rain on the weekend so I will have the range alone with any luck for some testing.
