Thanks for the replies guy's.Found out the problem.Would have never guessed it.The rear screw on the trigger guard was not tightened all of the way .He tightened it up untill the guard itself was more than flush with the stock and was locking the whole thing up.Loosened the screw and it works like a charm.Who would have thunk it....LOL. Had my old butt dazed and confused.I would have never thought that screw would affect anything to that extent.Oh well live and learn.Once again thanks guy's ...........Alton
