Sure, it's not too difficult to do. Use wood dowells in different diameters to serve as a backing for 80 grit sand paper. After removing the barrel and action from the stock, hold the stock in a vise with the jaws protected with a towell to keep the stock nice. Wrap the 80 grit sand paper around the dowell. I use dowells that are about a foot long, or longer if I can find them. Use the dowells to open up the barrel channel, working from the inside out on both the left and right side so as to make to barrel channel uniform. Try the barrel in the channel opening as you go to keep tabs on when it's opened far enough. I use the barrel alone, not installed in the receiver, for ease of testing the opening. When it's opened up enough to allow for the barrel to fit in nicely, use some tung oil, linseed oil, or any wood finish that looks right to seal the wood in the barrel channel. I assume that you are going to buy an aftermarket .920 barrel, or have one already. They make a nice looking 10-22 when installed, which isn't difficult either. When changing the barrel on the 10-22, use some anti seize compound of the threads of the long screws that hold the barrel to the receiver. The screws are steel and thread into an aluminum receiver, so the lube is needed. You can get anti seize at the auto parts store.
