Before doing anything,check the relationships between the bottom metal, the mag box,the guard screw ferrule,and the wood. The screw may be a replacement,and too long, or there might be some crush in the pretty soft issue wood they used.It might be easier to shim the bottom tang a little. When correctly fitted the receiver and the top tang should nest snugly together.The mag box should be held in place, but not pinched tight . The 99 is the first rifle that I loaded for with my lee loader kit. Good luck in correcting whatever is causing the problem.
