I have bought, sold and installed hundreds of Boyds stocks. I like them for the price and have had a lot of success with them and continue to use them. Having said that, they are not perfect. From the factory, I don't even consider them finished. Most of them take a little bit or a lot of work to make them what what I consider acceptable. Your issue is not all that uncommon. You can easily sand the front part of the bolt handle cut to make room, but there isn't much you can do about the back side, other than filling with epoxy and trying to shape it a bit with sand paper. I don't recall seeing any that were that far off on the back side. As for the angle of the cut, they are all cut straight like that. Warranty is certainly expired, but if it was mine, I'd still ask for a replacement. There's obviously nothing you could have done to it to cause this miscut.
