[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3596904, member: 34578"] Assuming your trigger guard looks like this: [ATTACH]210811[/ATTACH] It's probably just stuck in the stock from the years of crud and mung. With the stock off, stick a short wooden dowel (or other small piece of wood or plastic) through the trigger opening and against the inside of the trigger guard. Use a small hammer and tap the end of the dowel a few times. May have to tap it firmly, but shouldn't have to pound on it to get to break loose. Once it's loose you should be able to remove it by hand. Also, I just use a chemical stripper to remove the old paint. Wash it with soap and water and let it dry good. If you need to smooth out the metal, regular sand paper will work. Probably use about 240 grit. [/QUOTE]
