Hey Bill,
as an add on to Mikes post. Those guns always split behind the mag. In addition, make sure of your clearance between the bottom metal and the action. If it going to touch anywhere that it shouldn't, its going to be at the front of the box or at the front screw. My guess is that it has a stock ferule(sp?) at the rear action screw so it shouldn't happen there.
