Here's a quote from one of my previous posts that's another way to skin that cat and in my opinion a better way to skin it if you have or can borrow the "tools'
"Well since it's synthetic you could always do a little backwoods engineering.
I put a barrel off of a model 10 BA (.308 24" fluted) onto one of my sons synthetic stocked sporter hunting rifles and needed to open up the barrel channel. So I got creative. I took my propane turkey fryer and filled the pot with water and got it boiling. Then I put the stock nose first into the boiling pot. It takes quite a while to soften the synthetic up a little and if I remember right it took about 15-20 minutes maybe a little longer. Then I put on a pair of gloves and forced a thick 1" broom handle into the barrel channel from the action to the tip and wrapped it securely in a couple of places with duct tape. When it cooled it retained the shape I wanted with plenty enough clearance for the new fat barrel. I did have to relieve it just a little in the bottom of the barrel channel at the tip with a dremel. Other than that it went really smooth and worked well.
They say necessity is the mother of invention but I think lack of money can be just as motivational :) "

Here's another link where I shared this info that has a crappy pic of the finished product.
