If the side that is touching is concave you may be able to relieve the stress or bend it back to provide the needed clearnce. I have done it both ways.
Stock doesn't look warped from the outside. Wow...does that really happen? Just uneven around the bottom of the barrel at the very front. Seems to be touching only on the left side. Man, mabe it is warped on the inside. My sand job should be the remedy.
Thanks to you and the other guys here for helpful replies.
