[QUOTE="7stw, post: 624914, member: 22854"] STOP! STOP. If I were you, I would not sand out that barrel channel. If you are rebedding it, all you have to do is elevate the barrel up front and center it. This can be done with "O" rings, or wrap tape around the barrel, or put a piece of cardboard, or something along those lines. Then bed the area under the action. You can even bed up as far as about 2 inches forward off the lug. When the epoxy dries, remove the shim material the you used in the for end, and then your barrel will be properly floated. If you bed around the recoil lug, put a piece of electrical tape on the FRONT side of the lug, and the bottom. This gives the lug clearance, but will not move under recoil. If you are afraid to do it yourself, I am sure that there are smiths around that know what to do, but I would not go sanding on that barrel channel. You don't know how thick the top coat is on the barrel channel. That stock is made from a atomic fiber, and is "encased" in a layer of fiberglass. Shimming and bedding is your best option!
