If it does you might move POI - but your point is well taken - a bit of light sanding in the channel on the nose of the forearm of the stock would take that away.
The thing you want is when you are shooting and applying upward pressure on the forearm it should not touch the barrel.
Hope all works out well...
Sorry about the confusion. What I mean is that it is tough to get the dollar bill started because the gap is so small, AND you are trying to get the dollar bill to conform to a weird shape when initially inserting it. I've never shot the gun with the ram rod in place, and though I can't look at the gun now, I don't think the forearm of the stock would tough the barrel in a normal bench rest situation. I'll check it out again tonight when I get home.
Thanks for your help!
