Default Free floating a barrel on a Browning BAR

So for you guys that have Browning BAR's have you free floated the barrel? I have heard several guys recommend I sand the forearm so that it's not touching the barrel. In factory configuration it was touching on one side but not on the other. In order to get it to not touch on either it now is more wood on one side of the forearm than the other side. I'm sure you wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for it but it still sort of bugs me. However, if I sand wood off the other side it will make it a lot larger gap between the forearm than barrel. Did you guys free float yours? Or did you leave them alone? If you did free float them did you run into this issue? It's like the forearm may not have been cut perfectly in the center or something. The barrel seems to be further to the right than the center of the forearm when you put it all together.
