QUESTION ABOUT FREE FLOATING BARREL IN SPORTSTER

Could you just sand out the barrel channel with a dowel and some sandpaper to free float the barrel???

Then the area under the barrel stud needs to be built up so all contact with the barrel is at the stud. I think there is a thread on this on the NEF/H&R centerfire forum.
