[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2395672, member: 25831"] Wrap the barrel lengthwise three times in masking tape and place it in the stock (it won't fit). Wrap sand paper around the barrel and work it back and forth. You will have to adjust it a little as you go by lifting up on the action so the sandpaper will clear it, but just remember to keep the sandpaper "tight and uniform" around the barrel. Eventually the barrel will slip into its natural position. Run your paper for proper float. Once you take off the tape, you should have good clearance all the way around. This has been the best way to ensure even removal, just enough. I have tried the dowel and socket, but they get uneven wear for me and one side gets too much removed. Best to have a smith use a mill... [/QUOTE]
