Kurusu,

Please post a photo of the damaged area... Depending upon the severity of the damage, some combination of the suggestions made so far may make it look better. The judicious application of an appropriate machinist's jack might also assist...

A "REAL" gunsmith, master blacksmith, or machinist could re-bend and re-shape the guard for you... unfortunately, most shops that have a gunsmith today are really just "parts replacers" and they don't know much about metalworking...


I would also suggest that you google "blacksmiths" in your area... and check out examples of their handiwork before you turn over your frame to them...
