As a seasoned gunsmith or an experienced weapons armorer at the USMC base Quantico, you've likely come across various trigger guards during your time. You understand how the smallest details can make the biggest difference. The trigger guard is not only a critical safety feature; it also plays a key role in the overall performance of the rifle. But finding that perfect balance between robustness, functionality, and form-fitting design can be just as precise and challenging as dialing in that perfect shot.
Maybe you've worked with aluminum trigger guards before, and while they might save a bit on weight, you've found they just don't stand up as well over time, particularly under harsh conditions. Nothing can be as frustrating as compromising on durability and longevity due to material limitations. And, let's not forget about those detachable magazines used by other brands, which might seem convenient but can disrupt smooth and consistent operation when it matters the most.
The DD Ross Trigger Guard for the Remington 700 Short Action - USMC M40A3. A blend of strength and style, this trigger guard is the result of old fashioned craftsmanship and attention to detail. Crafted directly from the mind of Daniel Ross, the creator.
Note: This part is made to fit a McMillan chassis, specifically inletted for the DD Ross trigger guard. Like all precision rifle assemblies, this is not a DIY project, and a qualified gunsmith will understand that even parts designed to fit each other will require minor modifications to get the perfect fit. Now, this part can also be used by a gunsmith who is doing his or her own inletting into a custom rifle, but the purpose in Charlie's bringing this to market is for the M40A3 military clone rifle enthusiast.
Note on photos: The internal magazine and spring is not included, but will be part of the Remington receiver, or can be purchased separately.
