[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Filling hole in trigger guard??

Posted: 9/25/2016 11:23:16 PM EDT

I have a B5 trigger guard, that is a bit over half a hole off in the front, making it stick out from the receiver rather noticeably. Is there anything I can fill the hole in with, then redrill the hole?
It would have to be soft enough so it wouldn't push the drill bit to one side.
I was thinking JB weld, but that might be to hard...
Thoughts?

Ah, just spitballing... apply heat and bend?

I filled it with JB Weld and redrilled. With it installed, I held it inward and drilled. Worked like a charm.

Are you sure you don't have it in backwards? Sounds silly, but you do know the LONG portion goes in at the grip end, right? I've actually seen some people try to put them in backwards because they remember the factory one's gap at the grip (which the B5 fills).
Just throwing that out there..
