Newbie question on trigger guard

Depends … the forward one could be pinned in, possibly the rearmost too. Show us a top view, as some were:
- All pinned on (Golden Age Longrifle)
- All screwed on (Fusil de Chasse)
- Maybe a combo thereof …
The front one could be. The rear one overlaps the trigger so it will need to be removed. I’m not sure if they were pinned or screwed on a late Lancaster.

Both will work just fine for pins.
However, that is not a Late or Early Lancaster guard.
If you don’t care, use it, it should be pinned front and rear, no screws. You can modify either lug, or trigger plate, or both.

Well that may be. But it is the one Pecatonica included in the kit.

That looks like the guard used on Edward Marshal Rifle reproductions. It’s pre Revolutionary war, and front should be pinned. I believe it’s ok to secure the rear with small screw.

The front lug is left on for a pin. The rear should be removed in this case as the casting is set up for a wood screw.
