Stock re-assembly problem--help needed

[Shuz]

I'm unable to get the stock back on my model 16 Weather Warrior. The problem is that the trigger guard bolt release won't move back far enuf to let me get to the rear screw to tighten it when the action is placed in the stock. If I remove the trigger guard assembly so that I can drop the screw in, then I can't get the trigger guard assembly properly back into the stock? I notice that there is a hair pin type spring that is kinda sticking outta the one side of the front of the trigger. Is that normal? what do I do now? This shouldn't be rocket science just to get a stock back into a rifle, but it sure seems like it to me!

When you have the bits together you want to make sure the little tab slides into the recess cut on the base. The bolt release should slide back far enough to clear the screw head recess.

I'm meeting Shuz this afternoon to help resolve this.

Post up when it’s done. A picture might would us....I’m having trouble visualizing exactly what’s happening.
