    Ricky, I agree with the others to leave as is. One thing I noticed though is, it looks like your trigger guard may not be nested properly into the stock. Sometimes the back of the magazine gets hung up on the receiver and does not seat properly. If you open the bolt and depress the follower you can sometimes see this. To fix remove the trigger guard and and make sure the back edge of the magazine fits up into the receiver. You may have to bend the trigger guard slightly to make it fit the contour of the stock in that area. Salt Flat

    I saw that and wondered if it had just been sanded over zealously...?
