Before investing in a drill bit, you might just chuck a dowel slightly smaller in diameter or a shotgun cleaning rod and tape on some sandpaper rolled on to fit snug and work it up and down the length a few times, start with medium grit and work down to fine. I used this technique on a kit gun a Hawkins that had a very rough channel and after a few passes it slid fine.
