front bottom metal bolt hitting cycle bolt

I just switched my 5R barreled action into a new A5 McMillan stock. My front bolt of my bottom metal is hitting the cycle bolt. I don't have the bolts mixed up. So what gives? Do you have to take a little off the front bolt for proper fitment? Ive had other McMillans and it was never a problem before. Did I forget something else? I have bdl metal, btw.

Less depth in the A5 than your old stock. Just grind down the screw a bit and you'll be fine.
