Do you know anyone locally that would take a look at it to confirm everything is in the right place.

Another thing,your bolt is seriously out of place for full lockup.You need to file the groove deeper so when the bolt is closed the flat is inline with the back of the reciever.
Staggerfeed. I have the clean metal line in the center of the pillars w bedding surrounding it. I used the factory 110 pillars from stockys that has the notch cut out of the rear pilllar. Using those caused problems but their length didn't change and I relieved the wood around them. With mag box out, it sits on the pillars perfectly. With the box on, the ejection port lines up perfectly with the wood, with just the slightest amount of wood slightly higher then port. I can tourque the front screw with out the mag box hitting too much. Once i tighten the rear theres the conflict. This could mean that the rear pillar was too short for my application. But then the original contours behind the tang still wouldn't fit right and it would sit high. With box on and nothing torqued it looks like the best fit.

The bolt handel isn't locked. It hits the stock and can't close all the way, so you are seeing it only partially closed. It locks up correctly when removed.
