  More then likely the chamber in the rifle now can be cleaned & polished To a point that it will be smooth enough to extract fired cases.

  They sell chamber brushes. Soak with bore bore cleaner(s).

  Most likely you can smooth the chamber by a good cleaning with a brass .30-06 chamber brush & solvent. An M1 rifle chamber brush has a ratchet that you use to rotate the brush with a USGI cleaning rod.
  
  If this doesn't smooth the chamber adequately, the next step would be to use patches with auto polishing compound. If you can rig a flexible rod to an electric drill, that will speed the job.
  
  If the chamber is actually pitted, the barrel may Nealneed to be replaced.
