Questions about new rifle

I just received my GAP .338 LM in a Manners T4-A stock and have a couple questions (I will post pictures as soon as I can). It has Badger M5 bottom metal and with an unloaded AI mag I can't close the bolt. It hits the rear of the follower and stops. Is this normal? Also is there a specific torque spec for the adjustment bolt on the cheek piece? I am trying to locate a Lucas Bore guide but I am not having any luck. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Once I can find that I will take the measurements and order my Dewey rod.I found out today that my powder funnel does not work with my .338 Lapua brass so I ordered a new one from Sinclair .338 Powder Funnel . That should be in sometime next week. I want to get an FDAC as soon as they are available for the .338. Is there anything else I should be looking to get?
 
Re: Questions about new rifle

Here's the contact info for Mike Lucas to order one of his bore guides. He prefers email, but I've listed both phone and email below. I recently ordered one. He's pretty quick to respond to emails. He'll need some specifics like what rifle and what size rod you'll be using on it.
