You found it. Now to deal with it. I would start with some 400 wet and dry with a few drops of oil placed in a slotted stick and rotated by a hand drill. It might just need some minor sanding.

If this is something that makes you uncomfortable doing yourself go see a gunsmith and show him your brass. I have seen my gunsmith do this on several occasions.

Thanks everyone for the help with figuring this out.

AZShooter I lapped the chamber and it worked, I shot 3 rounds and it was smooth each time I ejected with out any resistance.
