If your not handy at polishing, you can send your gun to Rob Roberts and let him know what it is doing and it will come back polished and fixed.  He does great work.

Kent do run a bit hotter and have a bit higher chamber pressures.  If you have rough machining where the shell goes, you may experience shells sticking.  Polishing will help eliminate those issues.  Under a microscope your essentially knocking the peaks off the metal.

 :yeah:

Once I knew what I was looking for in the chamber (where the brass of the shell contacts the chamber) i could actually feel the rough machining marks in the chamber with a fingernail. 

Good luck!

Polish the chamber and spend 15 bucks and toss a non mim extractor in there.
