Try this:

Put some lipstick on the bottom side of the bolt handle, close the bolt. It there is lipstick on the stock, relieve some wood under the bolt handle. Do this until the lipstick disapears. Sensop, you may want to try this also.

Uh, I looked at the gun and the bolt handle closes on the receiver. There is no wood under the handle anywhere.
