If the forearm closes properly without the wood on, then the wood is setting too high & interfering with it closing. If that's the case then lamp black the barrel & close forearm slowly & tap to see where lamp black shows on the wood Indicating high spots that will need to be removed. If you're not experienced and/or not comfortable with doing this I'd send it to someone that is experienced in metal & wood fitting. Sometimes if you're not experienced in these areas you can chase a problem & in the end screw the gun up.

I will repeat, DO NOT touch the wood.
