That trigger guard trigger guard has been on my mind. The way I have taken all the black plastic off my Challenger makes the the black guard look out of place. A Brass one, not polished might look good.

	Hi novagun, I got the pic of the steel one from the UK john knibbs web site. £6.50 + p&p A brass one would be nice though. Easy to solder or braze the pieces together.

	Hi nunga I ground the existing sprung pin to have a shallower angle. I also noted that the crusher and Diana have a different type of fixed pin. That is the latch pin contacts a circular surface. A ball bearing on the Diana and a round bar on the crusher. This seemed better to me. So I modded the fixed pin in the compression tube to have a semi circular surface. I could not remove the pin to make a replacement so I added a spot of weld with my tig an then filed and sanded it.
