Receiver and trigger housing stock clearance differences?

[Matt_X]

I have new to me Underwood in a Winchester stock (with Inland recoil plate).
There is no clearance between the back of the reciever - trigger housing assembly and the woodwork. In fact there is an impression in the back of the mortice from the contact -perhaps driven home by firing. (see photos)



Attachment 120651
Are there minor differences between stocks made for different prime contractors?
In particular between stocks intended for companies using brazed trigger housings and those only using machined trigger housings?

Might changing stocks to one made by a company supplying Underwood or IBM have a little moer clearance in the back?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?
