Ok I just took mkk41 advice and checked if the bolt was fully turned down. Well if I push down on the bolt the gun will fire so it could be that the bolt can't rotate enough. I checked and the bolt handle is not hitting any wood. It just stops on the metal receiver. There are marking on the bolt under the arm.

It looks like the bolt just needs to rotate a smigeon more. Does anyone have any suggestions?

BTW - this is a rebuilt '03 with a brand new stock.

Thanks for everyone's help so far.
