I then brought the water to a boil and put the fore end of a standard pillar bedded stock into the water for about 5 minutes until it became a little bit pliable. I then used a large1" broom handle and forced it down the length of the stock from the tang to the end of the fore end channel. I wrapped it up to hold the barrel in place until the stock cooled. After cooling the stock fit the new barrel fine. It was straight and free floated. I havent had any problems with it at all.
Just thought I'd throw it out there as a low cost possible option for ya.
Good Luck BHJ
PS. It's been a while since I did it and I seem to remember I did remove a small amount of material from the fore end tip with a Dremel. other than that it was a piece of cake.
