Dunno what RAR stocks are made of, but betting that sandpaper will get the better of it quickly. Plus, it's self-regulating. The paper side of a sheet of sandpaper shouldn't damage a rifle barrel, but if it does, it's an RAR. Just rattle-can it. If marking the barrel is really a concern, just remove the barreled action and substitute a wooden dowel of correct size and sand away.

The sandpaper method works but if you angle it at all leaves beveled edges on a stock which I do not like.

Good info JPro......

If you remove the stock you can scrape away the excess with a box cutter blade, I like that better than sandpaper on the Tupperware stocks.

Just fill the cross hatch in the barrel channel with some epoxy and then sand to fit the barrel. Easy and works great to stiffen the front of the stock.

Don't angle it at all.

All you have to do is put it in there and pull the sandpaper back and forth. Keep the ends parallel 3/4" apart straight above the barrel. Mb

Thanks for the post. I've heard of guys using a product called Glaze Coat to fill in the webwork of some of those poly stocks to stiffen up the forearm portion.

If it shoots fine resting on sandbags or whatever the stock is sitting on why would bypods make a difference? Still has the same rifle sitting in the same stock resting on something that doesn’t really matter. 1MOA average is pretty good for factory rifle at that price which is what makes it appealing! If you have tinker with it and start bedding the stock and floating the barrel and trueing the action and lapping the lugs it’s not worth it

That is pretty much guaranteed to scratch the barrel finish.....ask me how I know.....Pulled sandpaper under Kreiger varmint weight barrel fitting it in a Remington factory stock. I did not have to remove much material and the barrel-stock space was pretty consistent when finished, but some grit got between the back of the sandpaper and the barrel which fixed the bead blasted SS barrel finish. Most of it was hidden by the stock, still..... Maybe some masking tape or electricians tape might save barrel finish.
