The first thing I would do is take the action off of either stock it is currently on examine two areas. First check the hammers and sears for possible worn or broken surfaces, then be sure that the sear spring is fully contacting both sears (maybe one is bent and not putting pressure down?). Also, if the sear spring screw is a little loose it will not hold the sears, so be sure its tight. If everything is ok with those, I would then assemble it without a stock so you can see it work. Then put the barrels and forend on and test its function to be sure that you know nothing mechanically is wrong. This lets you see how everything should line up and usually reinforces the fact that you have wood interference. After doing this, compare the two stocks as close as you can. If you dont spot any possible wood interference issues right away, take some light gun grease or stock inletting black and cover your trigger plate, action and the back of your hammers. Then assemble the gun as you would normally on the new stock, test for function, then take it apart and see where you have contact. Often times you will inlet without things like the hammers (maybe the head of the stock isnt letting it fully cock back enough?)safety, triggers, sears, etc, so you can easily forget to make room for them. Hope this helps and good luck!
