Float it with a deep well socket or chunk of broom handle with sandpaper wrapped around it. Or get out the dremel with a sanding drum.

if the barrel channel needs to be opened up, it is easy and only takes about 10-15 min. I would go to Home Depot/ Lowe's and get a wooden dowel that is close to the size you need (maybe a little smaller) and the variety pack of sand paper. Stick it in a padded vise, wrap the coarsest grit on first and open it up. finish it with the finest grit and you should be GTG. Lastly... Go Slow! you can always take more off but you cant put it back
