Help on M1A POI change with new stock.

I have a M1A bush rifle which shot great with original folding stock & birch stock. I was tempted by a beautiful brown laminate stock, so I bought it & had the gun store owner (service rifle is his specialty) fit it. My M1A now shoots 18' high when cranked all the way down @100 yds. Did the guy mount it with pressure on the barrel or what? If I get the higher standard M1A front post, won't my rear sight range be off? Any other way to solve it? Help- I'm out of my depth.
 
If this is a military-style stock, with handguards and barrel bands, there are all manner of possibilities.

Off the cuff, I would not be surprised if the fore-end part of the main stock were pressing against the barrel.

Was the barrel free-floating in the original stock? Is it free-floating in your present stock?

Do all the parts and pieces fit together without any forcing?

This is more unusual than the usual unusual!
