Receiver and trigger housing stock clearance differences?

Wow, that is super compressed in there. On the bottom hole indention, you can even see the lines on the bottom of it from the trigger spring pressing against the wood.

'fraid so. Something about how the mortice was cut as its not quite square, or recoil plate and escutcheon are too far back. Maybe a Win receiver and trigger housing would clear??? But seeing the the cut is angled makes me think the issue is the stock.

It's a midproduction Winchester stock. The GHD part of the acceptance stamp can still be made out.
