If there is in fact 1/2 " of space ,this is more than there should be ,I would think it probably has something to do with the cocking ,but just for a little insight as Edgar suggests a lite bump will usually do the trick with the palm of your hand , but a neat ;little trick that was shown to me and was explained as the Exact Way to apply a Parker Forend was to place the Forend in position and apply lite pressure and then open the opening lever and TaDa Snaps into place like magic ! I tried this on all of my guns and it works "" Most "" of the time and keeps all pressure off of that precious Forend Wood !
