I recently received a new M1 stock set from the CMP and the inletting for thr trigger group is too deep - it sinks well below the surface of the wood by about 3/32". It's amazing to me how this can happen. Anyone else have this problem? It's a really nicely figured piece of wood...

| First, check how tight is the lockup between the receiver and the trigger group. There should be some tension for the last half inch of travel before the trigger guard locks in place. There should be no up and down play between the rear of the receiver and the stock when locked in. If it passes those two tests, then you have to file and sand the stock by the trigger to allow better access to the trigger. I had a beautiful aftermarket M-1 stock once that had this problem. Everything went together perfectly except for the trigger group being set too deep into the stock. After the file and sanding, all was well. |
The bottom plate of the trigger housing assembly directly above the trigger is recessed deeply into the stock. Additionally, there is considerable front to rear movement of the assembly in the stock. In the original stock, the trigger assembly sits flush with the underside of the stock, as it should. I've been in contact with the CMP and they are sending a return label out pronto... |
