PTG DBM for Remington 783 installation?

I installed it on a the crappy factory Rem 783 plastic stock. Took me a couple of hours, took my time with a dremel & hand files. If I remember correctly I had to add a couple of washers under the DBM, I forget if it was because of fitment or because I removed too much material. Works fine with Magpul 5 & 10 round magazines with Factory ammo.

Finally got some time to get you some pictures.
First Pic is of the finished install. The screws it came with seem to work fine for me.
Here you can see how much material I had to remove. I did it with a Dremel and hand files. Not pretty, but it works. After I got the bottom metal to fit flush with the stock, the magpul magazines dragged a bit while cycling the bolt. A couple of thin washers between the PTG bottom metal the stock seemed to have fixed the problem. It now cycles fine with magpul magazines. Before hunting season this year I'll probably reinforce the stock & bed the action to the stock, at the same time I'll bed the bottom metal in with some Devcon Liquid Steel Putty.
Here is a close up of the 'pocket'.
