Thread: Marlin XS7 trigger guard

Has anyone got any idea we’re i might find a trigger guard for a marlin XS7 it seems real hard to find any because they have stopped manufacturing these firearms. Brownells says they have them but when I press order they say that they are now out of stock. Cheers guys any help would be much appreciated 👍🏿

Hey mate, i had the same thing happen to mine a few years ago (was my first CF rifle) I found a part number online for a Rimfire one that fitted perfectly (it was an alloy one whereas the factory Marlin one is plastic) just had to drill one of the screw holes out a little larger.

It was a good fix, and i still have the rifle, its a loner now.

Ill see if i can find the part number, i know i got it via Sinclairs, which i think is Brownells.

Does look very like a marlin 60 trigger guard. I'll bring my one up to compare if you want to check first? Good spotting @GWH

I originally got onto the part number via a Marlin owners website after google searching the problem. When you pull the factory plastic one off and have a good look at it all, you will see how the factory plastic one splits when over tightened. Bit of a wee design fault, the alloy one basically fixes it.

You can also take it to your local panel shop with plastic repair welder. They do a good job in minutes.

It’s a bit of a stretch I think I actually got the screw tight as after I put a washer under it

I know this is an old thread, but I now am in a similar though worse situation than the member who created the thread. I have lost the trigger guard of my Marlin XS7. How could such a thing happen? Well, the tigger guard had a fracture near the rear bolt and the front screw would not hold tight. This resulted in the trigger guard falling off the rifle and being lost while bush-bashing through some heavy leatherwood in the Ruahines last weekend. Happy to say that I was still able to shoot a deer on this hunt, but I could really feel how vulnerable the trigger is without a guard when hunting in heavy bush. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could obtain a replacement trigger guard? From an earlier post, I understand that the trigger guard of the Marlin 925 can be used as a replacement, but the only website I could find that would post this to NZ is https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/, which is going to charge ~US$95 for the postage. Any advice would be much appreciated!
