trigger guard slightly bent any solution

One possibility is to have someone turn a gradual brass cone, (maybe even wood) which you can insert into the stripped trigger guard loop and press in until the trigger guard regains its shape.

You could do this on a drill press or in a pinch, in a shop vice.

+1 on the cone idea. Lately I've been making quite a few firearms related mounts and things using Delrin (also called Acetal, it comes in black and white) VERY easy to machine and the white has a natural lubricity to help it slide. Will most likely have to also make a socket-type fixture to support the frame while being pressed to prevent further damage. While the pieces could be made in under an hour (shop time averages $70-100 per hr), Delrin is not cheap, maybe $15-20 for a suitable piece from a supplier.
