Look at the AFC Tuning sticky... it tells you how to grind down the barrel and repack the washers.

no the pump would have to be pulled and gone through by a PRO... it is not needed for a dd.

You can turn the barrels your self but it will need to be benched afterward. As for a daily driver lots of things aren't needed but we all do them anyway.

I would not turn the barrels, leave that to the pump shops.

If you were talking about grinding the barrel in the AFC you can do that, take .090 off the end.
