Whelen36-If you reread our last few posts you stated that it didn' t appear to be plastic like the 700' s or model 7.I then asked where you got the idea that the 700' s and model 7' s had plastic triggerguards since you not Quilly made the statement.Your response was that a magnet did not stick to it.Perhaps you meant the 673.If that is the case I will repeat my question as to whether or not you have actually seen a plastic triggerguard on a 700 or model 7 and where you got the idea that they were plastic.
