There are two different thicknesses (that I know of) of the front tang of the triggerguard. Instead of thinning the triggerguard, which will make it more likely to crack, I would use a Dremel and carefully deepen the inlet in the stock. I did that with a Boyd's stock I have and it worked out just fine. I'll be honest, I've seen metal triggerguards with the protruding tab, and I am not sure what the purpose of the tab is/was. I just left them as is, as it didn't affect anything that I could see.
