First you need to determine if the problem is the metal fit or the wood fit.
2. Remove wood & see if the forearm metal will close properly. If it doesn't then remove some metal on the back end of the barrel tab. 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.
