Free floating barrel

I need some help. How do you check to see if a barrel is free floated in a stock? Second, if the stock is made of wood, how would you go about removing material, i.e. dremel or sand paper and elbow grease? Thanks.
 
Slide an index card under the barrel to see if it is free floated. I like my barrels to be free floated so that 3 index cards will slide all the way back to the recoil lug.

As far as removing wood, if you have to remove a lot of wood the Dremel is a good tool. In most cases a dowel wrapped in coarse sandpaper in enough.
