Start by reading the FAQs info on polishing the chamber and ejector tune info, and the Handi Basics 101.  ;)

Use a stainless steel chamber brush mounted on a drill motor. Use lube [WD-40], stay away from the rifleing. I have had to do this to several new guns with sticky chambers and has always worked.

Maybe back off the powder charge a tad, if you are shooting reloads.
