[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 1259288, member: 8980"] +10 on this. Also, IF you insist on polishing your ramp... do NOT use a mechanical device, just pick up a dowel and wrap some sand paper around it, clamp the frame in a vice and match the angle of the ramp with the dowel. Start around 320 or so, but again, don't go crazy... and go up to about 800 or more... I usually take mine to about 1200, but that's really not necessary. If you round off that top edge, the bullet will nosedive into the barrel ramp, pushing the barrel forward and causing a jam. [/QUOTE]
