Default RE: removing wood from a stock

ORIGINAL: corey012778

about 2 months ago I asked about help with my savage 110e 30-06. in the time I have asked, I have changed the scope base to a 1 piece steel, still trying to deside on what rings to get, the scope that was on it crapped out on me when I put it on another gun (80 rounds[:@]), and refloated the barrel. the stock is warped on the right side and I only need to remove like <.005 of a inch on it. I really don't trust myself to do it but I don't have the money to get a gunsmith to do it. what could I use do the work?
I assume the warpage is in the barrel channel? Causing the wood on the right side to touch the barrel? Since you only need to remove .005" or so, use a medium shandpaper, like #240, and go slowly until you can slip a dollar bill between the barrel and the stock. IF you want to be even more careful, use a #400 grt paper. It will take longer, but you won't risk removing too much wood.
