You aren’t breaking that trigger guard without trying.
Yep. I don't get the "it's not a metal trigger guard" crowd. If you did something to that gun hard enough to break that trigger guard, you're in a situation anyway and that will be the least of your worries.
Maybe not the Hunter one, but the RAR .17 I bought a few years ago had the guard broken off in the shipping box, maybe by the bolt that was loose in the box when it landed, but how much impact force could that bolt generate in normal handling? There was no visible damage to the box. Ruger sent me a new stock out pronto, and free of course.
Wonder what it’d take to bust the guard on one of the old boatpaddle 77/22s? That’s some tough stuff.
