[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2435449, member: 29765"] When I widened the barrel channel on my Bell and Carson for the Proof on my Savage I started with just sand paper in my hand to get going. I then moved to a piece of sand paper wrapped around my 1” lapping bar, that made it nice because it has a handle for it too. The inlet was originally for a sporter barrel. I did discover some voids in the stock that were easily filled with some bedding material. I had to remove quite a bit of material. A mill would’ve made much easier, cleaner, and quicker work of the whole thing. I’d ask the smith to do it if I was already having him do work on the gun. Personally, I did all the work on my rifle, since it was a pre-fit barrel. [/QUOTE]
