Here is the 392/2260 hybrid gun.

I could not stand the big lump on the pump arm stock either or the flat cut off of the front of it. Here is how I reshaped mine which included thinning the whole thing for a better feel and less weight. Also made a filler to take up the gap between the stock and pump arm. Home made removable LDC really quiets it down.
I like you're solution for getting rid of the clunky safety trigger guard which I never use anyway. How did you anchor the bottom leg of the sear spring? It looks like you could cut to shorter length and slot the post there to fasten it to. I plan to do one like yours as soon as the trigger guard I ordered gets here. I found this one at Numrich Gun Parts for a Winchester Model 47 that looks like my Sheridan Model C trigger guard. I will mount it to a plate like yours with machine screws. I think this will be easier than bending one to shape from steel.
Dan... Thanks for the pictures of your idea on this trigger guard. I would never have thought of cutting off the bottom like that. It works great. I did put a trigger return spring at the top where you cut down the tab that keeps you from uncocking. There was no room at the bottom for the old coil spring location. Just a shorter coil spring moved up in front of the top of the trigger tab. In my parts collection I found that I had a trigger guard that was a perfect fit into the recess in the stock so I used it. Had to make a small threaded plate front and back inside the housing to fasten the mounting screws to. I like it much better and was a fun project. Someday I want to make a custom stock now that the ugly guard is gone. When I do I may use the Sheridan style guard.
