    I hit the chambers very lightly tonight with rolled up 1500
    grit sand paper. Seems smoother. Will report back.

    Thanks for the input folks.

    Well gents: that little bit of sandpaper to the cylinders did the trick! It extracts beautifully now. Except for one cylinder that stuck a little. I marked it and hit it again with the rolled up 1500 grit.

    Even the sticky cylinder was so much better I could have lived with it.

    Thank you for the encouragement to attempt the job. I also found a local revolver sloth for future reference.

    Doh. Autocorrect and lack of proofreading strikes again.

    BN nailed it with the Scotch brite pad trick.

    I have used some other methods, but really the pad and a drill hones up a cylinder nicely. Adding a little JB paste followed by some kroil oil is also a great method. Glad you have it slicked up. My little J frame M63 was sticky and needed some attention, and that did the trick.

    I've resigned myself to cleaning rimfire revolver chambers every 50 rounds or so; just running a wetted down nylon brush through brings them right back to smooth extraction without the need to remove material from the chambers using hones or abrasives.

    .22 brass brush wrapped with 0000 steel wool on a varible speed drill. Any oil and or flitz will polish chamber as you have discovered. Have used this method for sticky release in shotguns several times as well.
