BARREL BEDDING

What is involved in bedding a barrel? I've built a short range coyote gun from an M1 carbine and folding Choate stock. I'm not real comfortable about how the barrelled action fits in the stock, as the barrel is really only supported at the end of the stock where it is clamped. I know I haven't got a tack driver, but want to give myself the best accuracy possible. Seems like I've got a lot of space in the stock below the barrel that should be filled for barrel support. What do you think? What would I use?
Thanks!
