Yes it definitely overhangs where I only rack (if need be) from the front serrations. About 1/4 inch at most which, though you can still grip the rear serrations, it definitely hinders the grip in a situation where you need to quickly rack it. To be honest I have enough training with it now to consider selling the dovetail and getting it milled. Ill consider selling it if you're interested. Email me hey.songalong@gmail.com if interested.
