Trigger guard is stock. It fits into the inletting and is snug enough that when disassembled it just stayed in place until gentle pressure pulled it out. Went back in tight.
One of the things that puzzles me is the skill on the woodwork appears to be a notch above that on the metal. Yet why would a good stocker use metal work that was not up to the same quality? It leads me to believe that one person did the work, but his metal shaping skills weren't up to par with his woodworking ability. These photos shows the inletting. There appears to be what may have been an added coat of finish that run in the inletting. It was enough that the area beneath the receiver is perfectly smooth over 2/3rds of the contact area. Perhaps this was on purpose?
