I have a 10/22 ruger and was wanting to install a .920 g/m barell in the orig. stock as i have already made the mods that i wanted to it.
My question is what is the fastest methed???? I've heard of taking a 1'' dowel rod with 40 grit wraped around it.Maybe to put the dowel in a drill to turn it??? Any thoughts??? Thanks.

  Best way would be to get a 3/4 or 7/8 channel cutter, to remove the majority of the wood, than finish with your dowel/sandpaper (by hand).
  If your good at building jigs and have a router you could use a ball nose cutter of approxamitly the right diameter also.

  Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

  It would seem as if 40 grit ( I dont think a brick is that coarse) is a bit much for what you need to do.
  Your cheapest way out would be to use the 1 inch dowel you talk about
  with 150 grit sand paper wrapped once around it. Then just work it back and forth to cut the channe bigger. A set of deep well sockets could be of help also, just pick the closest size and have at it..
  Dont forget to coat the insides of the channel with a finish when your done, otherwise it will absorb moisture into it.
  
  Gun control is hitting what your aiming at.
