Fit may depend upon lower's spec

I have purchased two of these trigger guards over the past two years. I installed each on two separate Colt lowers - the first went in very easily, the second was a bit tougher to make fit. I would imagine that it's more likely that the spec of the two lowers was different than that the trigger guards varied so much one to the next to account for the more difficult second installation. After the tougher second install, I would recommend first dry fitting the guard and the set screw about 1/2 to 2/3 tightened, then aligning the rear hole with the lower receiver's "ears." Oil and install the roll pin, then back the set screw out enough turns to apply some thread lock to the exposed threads and then torque the set screw home. Done. Neither install required alteration of the receiver or the trigger guard.
