I know, I spent a week of evenings spotting-in one recently, and I still didn't get it quite perfect. (Enough so that I intend to go back into it before I call it done.) Getting the cheeks butted evenly up against the receiver and uniformly from side to side had me reaching for the Sailor Jerry a couple times too. The cheeks are sharp edged nicely too. (But shouldn't those cheeks be rounded at the back end a là 1895 instead of pointy?) Whoever did this stock work is a pro. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think."
