Receiver and trigger housing stock clearance differences?

[Matt_X]

Just to wrap this up, shaved it back in both locations so there is a bit of clearance. The receiver fit to the recoil plate is real tight now. We'll see if it leaves a new impression after shooting, but I doubt it will.

I'm curious now, if you actually tried the fit of the recoil plate to the receiver when you had it removed from the stock? The reason I'm asking is that my Underwood had a "sloppy" fit at the recoil plate - I tried all my spare recoil plates on the receiver and all were loose, but some not as bad as others. I attempted "tightening" a nice PR-B recoil plate using a CMP suggested method, and broke it in half! I ended up using the same method on a cast Post War recoil plate and was able to get the fit I wanted. This was dealing with the actual fit of the recoil plate to the receiver tang, and had nothing to do with the clearance of the the receiver or TH to the stock, though. - Bob
