You are accumulating quite a collection!  I admire your determination.

Cool.
The top one looks like the trigger and guard are on backwards 🙃

yes trigger is backwards but surprisingly it works. Talking about trigger guard it's pretty obvious it's incorrect guard, original would have larger loop (for 2 finger pull you know....)
