I have purchased a Les Baer TRS that is hard chromed from Cabelas. This is not a new weapon, but the previous owner apparently had the entire frame and slide hard chromed and it looks fantastic.
The only problem is that I went to the range yesterday and ran 300 rounds of the Winchester White Box 230 g 45 auto FMJ. Those rounds would mash into the
feed ramp smearing copper all over it and pushing the round back into the brass casing.
First time I tried to load a full magazine into the chamber by releasing the slide stop, not manually releasing the slide stop... it would not feed, just mashed into the feed ramp. It took 300 rounds to get to the point where I can actually feed a full magazine (Wilson 47D).
So what I am asking is what is the best means to polish the feed ramp as I do not have a dremel and and trying to avoid using a gun smith here in Dallas as I am not familiar with any that are good.
attached is a picture. As you can see, the feed ramp is not polished at all, and its still rough. The only reason I believe it was feeding a full magazine was because I ran it very wet and placed a drop of CLP there.
