In the past, I've tended to grease those retaining hooks (in the M14 trigger group) and the latching barrels/nubs in the Grand trigger group, then I use the rubber mallet. 
Wood stocks can only compress with time. Surprise, surprise!
If you are concerned, then judiciously shave, try fit, shave, try fit, shave and try fit once again. It's a labour of love!
Cheers and keep helping them noobies out there!

Rather than inletting the trigger housing deeper in the stock I would first try a trigger guard with worn lugs. The guard is not too far away from closing and this may make the difference. And yes, a bit of grease on the locking lugs is always good.

File down the the stock where the sides of the bottom plate of the trigger group housing rest , this will cause the trigger group to sit deeper in the stock , go slow and test fit till the trigger guard can be locked down by hand , i had to do this on all my rebuilds using Boyds stocks .
