I'm installing a Boyd's stock on a rifle that I built up from a loose CMPicon reciever. This is the only Boyds stock I have ever had trouble with. I relieved a bit of wood from the top surfaces to make the reciever sit flush in the stock, and quite a bit of wood on the trigger guard flats to get the proper lock up.

When the trigger group is locked inplace the action binds when the bolt is pulled to the rear. I can pull it all the way back and lock it, though it is tight. But the binding is such that the op rod and bolt will not go forward on thier own when released. They take a substantial "bump" with the palm on the op rod handle to get the bolt to go forward.

The binding disappears when the trigger guard is unlatched.

Anyone had this problem before? I can't see where any wood needs to be relieved to help the matter. Should I just shoot it a few times to loosen it up?

Thanks for any suggestions.
