He came in with it the other day with the floor plate out and said he couldn't get it to go back and seat or latch. I worked for over an hour to no avail. I think it might be bent ever so slightly. Any suggestions from the experts?

To remove, depress the plunger latch and slide the floor plate toward the trigger guard a fraction of an inch. To reinstall, position the floor plate in the aft position and (while pressing down) slide forward until locked. Another pair of hands, brass drift and small hammer can really be a help in removal; not usually needed to reinstall. Sometimes the engagement surfaces on the floor plate and trigger guard become clogged with dried cosmolene, dirt or rust. Before you attempt reinstallation, use a soft-bristled wire brush to clean all mating surfaces and lube lightly. Best wishes, Dave. (sorry for the large image; thought it would be easier to study)

Good luck!
