I really don't know what I'm doing...

Bought a nice walnut stock for my Garand today. Looks like it was never installed. When I tried to put it together I saw why. It doesn't fit.
The rear of the receiver had about a 1/4" gap between it and the wood. I saw what looked like an obvious point of interference (the long flats on the top of both sides) so I filed those down and the action is a closer fit but still not close enough. I am hesitant to file any more from that area as I wonder if somewhere else could be the sticking point.
Any tips or suggestions?

This stock is extremely difficult to fit. You must have the correct amount of pressure exerted by the relationship between the receiver & the trigger guard hooks.
Consider cutting your losses:
