hey /k/,
recently i picked up my first m1 from camp perry and brought it home, when i got back, trigger guard was dislodged from its slot, no idea how it happened. Anyways, i try to put it back and no matter how hard i push, it gets stuck around a 1/2 inch from its slot, i examined the trigger group and couldn't find anything that looked wrong. Further research came up with nothing, i'm afraid to hit it as it might cause damage
any one run into similar issues? thanks

Push really fucking hard
Take it completely apart. Clean it. Try to put it back together after a good clean. Make sure you put it together correctly. Make sure it isn't catching on the safety. If everything is clean And correct and it still won't fit, be a man and push it in. Don't be a pussy. It won't break.

I don't know if it's related, but those lugs look almost D shaped
however, my guess is that should make it looser instead, so it probably has nothing to do with your problem
Check the locking lugs and the corresponding recesses in the receiver. And grease the lugs because they are a high-wear area.

That stock has been glass bedded by the US Army. Someone would pay big bucks for that.
