Broomhandle, wood dowel, or big socket wrapped in course then fine sandpaper. Nothing to it just take your time and check fitment frequently.

+1... That's how I did it to my McMillan A5. I know... It's fiberglass. Works the same though.

The Mill is certainly the way to go, though I have done the wood dowel with sandpaper wrap as well. Both will get you where you need to be but one will take a lot less time.

Umm... I guess I'm a little old school (only stocked with wood for 20 years fulltime), but they make these things called wood chisels (or you can make em yourself like I do) in all kinda shapes. That sandpaper is just for final cleanup unless you want to be there all week. Get it dug out and get on with it....
BTW You can open up a channel like that by hand way quicker than ya can set it up in a mill.

If its high dollar wood and/or worth your time to have it truly mirror imaged to the barrel I can do it on my cnc.
Be glad to help.

Re: Need to open barrel channel on wood stock
there are barrel channel cutting tools you can get...Those are what I've used before.

I've done the paper over a dowel before...takes too much time. Best thing to do is to use a mill...just send it to Dixon above

Chad thanks for the offer. I have access to my friends mill, which bit/cutter would I use?
