I use electrical tape on the front of the lug to create a gap on the front. It is only a few thousandths of an inch thick.
As was previously mentioned there has to be enough clearance for assembly. Otherwise you could just epoxy it in there permanently
and hope you never need to work on the trigger.

There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
