I’ve polished the feed ramp on a few of my guns. Didn’t change the performance of the guns but did make it easier to see the dirt on the ramps when cleaning.
HK brilliantly engineered the chamber on the MP5 with fluting for better extraction.
Godspeed bro.
Every Taurus g3 and g3c needs this done for sure. Taurus needs to wake up their quality control machine work.
Exactly out of the box yesterday and already looking up what to do about this.
Don’t buy cheap guns
@solo401_ I even had trouble with a czp10c after only 34rounds. Sent it in just got it back so going to the range asp to see how it works
$300 gun 🤷♂️
@solo401_ their is FNs doing the same thing not just cheap gun
Thanks for a clear, easy to understand and see video. Great job!
I use FLITZ. The best polish I have ever used and I'm a 26 trucking veteran. I've been through hundreds of different types of polish but FLITZ is the best by far! No prepping, or sanding necessary as long (as it's already smooth) and get a dremel amd start polishing away.
that sounds great. i will try that. (flitz)
@David Downs Works great on plastics and glass, too! Like taillights, headlights, instrument gauge panels, etc. When it comes to plastic, make sure to test on a small inconspicuous area...👍
@@martinz.4852 i appreciate it, i will try it out.✓✓✓
Mothers mag polish is amazing!
Excellent video I did one of my barrels awhile back now I’m gonna do the rest
Thank you so much for this video, saved my butt big time. Bit of a gunsmith myself. Found this video extremely educational and straight to the point.
You’ve got that thing shining like new money! 👍
I just purchased a new 9mm Taurus G3C for my daughter. As I was polishing the ramp and other components - and repeating a 100 round firing - I remembered this video and thought to view it again.
I cannot resist restating what I commented over a year ago - this makes an AMAZING difference. This new gun worked flawlessly during a 100 round test when I unboxed it. However, after polishing, the action worked much faster and feed flawlessly. In addition, the action was much quieter. I have no hesitation handing this over to my daughter to use as her EDC.
Happy to hear brother.
how old is she? I hope she's at least of age to be using such a weapon, but then again if you're on this channel you probably know what you're doing
@@mingus445_gaming Of age? Such a weapon? What exactly does that?
@@MrPhilsAlabamaHotSauce Huh?
@@mingus445_gaming Just wondering why you would have those hopes. Sane people would never give a minor a weapon. That weapon is just your typical handgun. And I do know what I am doing. No problem. All is cool.
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for to fix my Nano FTF and FTE issues. Thanks!
Thank You, glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video. I'm going to use your tutorial to polish a couple of my handguns. Nicely prepared!!
Glad this helped you i appreciate it.
Very informative video. I liked how the basics were the nucleus of the presentation 😃
Thank You glad you liked it.
My new CZ P10C was misfeeding with rounds nosediving into the bottom of the feed ramp. I polished the feed ramp, and also worked the slide, and locked it back for 12 hours at a time for a few days. Gun runs like a champ now.
That is awesome, I am happy it worked out for you. its a simple upgrade but impressive.
Same exact issue with my 2023 p10c. Sending it into CZ-USA for them to polish my feed ramp. Apparently, it does like any hollow points… only FMJ
Thank you! I think I can polish my feed ramp now.
Thanks dude. Going to do this on my pistols and my AR
And the "Footsteps in The Dark" outro 👌
Glad you liked it. I appreciate it.
Very informative. I'm going to polish a few of my barrels. Thanks for the info.
Thank You. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks, and subscribed. I'm learning about this type of polishing technique, and the vid was educational for me.
Thank You glad you liked it. and thank you for subscribing.
That's what I call putting the Mojo on it...those Ramps looked great when you got done!!!
Thank You Brother. i really appreciate the comment.
Cool man thank you. I'm gonna try this both on the ramp and the chamber.
Awesome glad you liked the video and was able to help out.
Thanks for taking the time to make this great video.
Thank You, I'm glad you liked it.
I liked it very much.
I've been doing this same procedure for years.
The way you use your hands to stabilize your handpiece with the bench top is exactly the way I do. Cheers!
Nice step by step explanations and details. 2 thumbs up
Thank you. glad you enjoyed the video.
Awesome job on your video. Learned a lot and thank you!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
This should be done on every auto pistol. Good video!
Glad you enjoyed. Thank You.
Great video. One of the best I’ve seen. Thanks.
Thank you appreciate that.
The Hobby Gunsmith Thank You Brother! Awesome Video!
Thank You sir.
This is an excellent presentation! I'm adding it to my semi-automatic pistol cleaning routine.
Thank You glad you enjoyed
I republish mone every other shoot you're spot on 👍
PS….it’s not a part of a cleaning routine…it’s a 1-time process to you barrel. 1-time…that’s it. Just a heads up.
Very nicely done, displayed and explained. Great job!
Thank You. I appreciate it.
Thank you for your video. I'm all enthused to begin on my pistols.
Thank you glad i was able to help.
Excellent instruction. That's a little more polishing speed and time than I expected, but that mirror finish! I need to do this! (Got a G3c on the way, but I have a couple .22's that might benefit from a polish.)
Thats what i liked about my Springfield xd the chamber and feed ramp is already polished. I need to do this to my glock barrel though
Great workmanship. Thanks for the detailed video.
Glad you enjoyed. Thank You.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 subed, the attention to detail had me at hello
Thank you sir. i really appreciate that more than you think.
Superb Instruction!!
thank u friend!"
I have done this with a couple of Lone Wolf barrels that I own for two of my Glocks. In my case I used the Mothers Mag polish and/ or Flitz. You get essentially the same effect
I agree.
Excellent tutorial!!
Thank You really appreciate your comment.
Very well done video. I have an old WWII German Mauser HSc with feed ramp issues and I think this could solve the problems.
Thank You very much, i am glad you enjoyed and this helped.
I'm having feeding issues with an Interarms import Mauser. Did the polishing help you?
Thank you so much for this!
Very nice video. Gonna start polishing all my gun barrels.
Glad you enjoyed.
I had some feed issues last night at the range. I was using FMJ Flat Nose that should NOT have misfed, but some did. First thought (along with an overall cleaning) was to polish the feed ramp, I didn't think about polishing the barrel. I know what I'm doing later! Thanks THG!
Flat nose .40 right had the same issue.
I use 3M rubbing compound and glazing compound. Works great. It gives a mirror finish.
Nice presentation video with before and after results. Great job 👍.
Thank You.
Excellent detailed explanation, you've a new subscriber. I just ordered a Springfield 911 and found out they have a lot of feeding issues, some You-tubers recommend to polish the ramp, and that's why I landed here. Thanks
Thank You sir.
I’ve had those same issues with my 911, been debating on polishing it myself or sending it in for warranty work. Did it work for you?
@@trystinjensen4663 I haven't done anything yet, I will send it back to Springfield because it is under warranty and the might find something wrong I don't see.
@@trystinjensen4663 Up to now My friend hasnt had any complaints with it.
Dope. Fixed my failure to feed!
Awesome glad this helped you.
One of the first things I do when I got my RIA's. That is after I strip it down to remove all the packing Cosmoline.
Thank you!
I was experiencing jams with my G2C until i started polishing my feed ramp and entrance to barrel, no more jams now, i was very disappointed with this purchase, but not anymore.😂 thank you for you vid!
Awesome.
Great video with excellent explanation
Thank You Glad you enjoyed it.
I did the same on my G3C and it does nake a difference. Those polishing bits you are using are readily available on Amazon for a very low price.
Yessir, that mainly where i purchase them from. Glad it helped.
Thank you for the info. I bought a brand new Taurus G3c at a show today. I just love it. About 1/2 the weight of the 1911 I been carrying.
Awesome!!!
@@TheHobbyGunsmith I have polished the ramp barrel & it's really pretty. Changed the sights also. It came with a Viliadum laser on the trigger guard. I have this as a save my ass weapon. No time for toys.
Very educational video sir. I appreciate you well done kind sir
Thank You my friend. im glad you enjoyed it.
Very well done. Beautiful workmanship. I can tell you that a well polished feed ramp and chamber make a GIGANTIC improvement in hand gun performance, especially when using the modern hollow point self-defense rounds. Had to give you a sub for this high quality video. Thank you!
Thank You glad you enjoyed it.
@@TheHobbyGunsmith (.
I second everything Phil said. I subscribed as well it was so well done, succinct, and simple. I have a G3 experiencing these issues as well. Your video will make the job easy.
Great Video!
I will be adding this upgrade to all my pistols!
Subbed!!!
@@williammoore6952 William, properly polished feed ramps and chambers make a gun work like butter. And they are much quieter. Just don't get in a hurry. Polish (remove metal) very slowly.
On 1911s I also polish the extractor hook, by hand. Wrap a needle file with a cleaning patch that has been charged with the polishing compound and work it inside the hook and the lower edge where the rim feeds up into the hook. I do this, and use Wilson Combat mags, and every 1911 that has had this treatment works perfectly after that.
Nice!
Does that help jhp rounds feed better? Those rounds always get stuck in my 1911 when trying to chamber...
I think this is what my Smith and wesson sd40ve needs. Bullet keeps getting caught in the chamber. Great video!
Thank You appreciate it.
Did you end up polishing the ramp, and if so, did it help? I just purchased an SD40 and it seems every other round gets jammed
Great info. Thank you for doing this
Your welcome, glad you enjoyed the video
That was a very informative video. Thank you very much!
Thank You glad you enjoyed.
I'd guess that half of all feed issues aren't so much mechanical, as they are THIS right here, it's one place that manufacturers save money, especially on budget models. I do this, to a minor degree on every firearm I've ever owned(that had a ramp), and I've yet to have a feed issue I can blame on the weapon. Currently, my G3C had very minor issues with hesitant feeds(never failed, just the feel was off), it was 100% a fault on the feed ramp, I think it took me 5 minutes to fix, and hundreds of rounds later I still love the little pistol, and have 100% confidence in it. You do not need a razor sharp entry to the ramp btw, that alone could create problems with any lead tip defensive rounds, or lightly crimped rounds depending on your firearm, and feed angle. Don't forget that little bit of work on the entry also helps with extraction! Regardless of the firearms price, I would always inspect, and pay some attention to it, if applicable.
i bought a g3c as my first pistol. 9 times out of 10 it will fail to feed any kind of hollow point, it obviously gets caught on the feed ramp. any FMJ its 100% fine never fails.. just hollows.. going to polish it and hope it helps lol
Ask any competent gunsmith if polishing the feed ramp to a striker fired pistol helps. Every single one of them will tell you absolutely not and that you're now introducing more points of failure. It's purely esthetic. If your firearm isn't feeding its not because of a feed ramp. The only time this will work hand in and is specific 1911 or similar pistols and that's just to further insure the feeding of defensive rounds.
This was awesome , Im gonna do this
Thank You glad you enjoyed it.
Holy! Your shield feed ramp has the EXACT same little dimple in the EXACT same spot as mine! I have 1 other shield and so does my mother and a few friends and when I see one I would always ask to see their feed ramp. There's have always been perfect. Your dimple is quite litteraly in the exact same spot as mine.
I guess that makes us Shield brothers?!?! lmao
Its not dimple, its birthmark 😂
@@serega4087 lol
@@serega4087 hahaha!
New subscriber, great video!
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Chamber polish on a pistol might be okay (I don't know), but on a rifle chamber it's advised against because the chamber texture helps grab and hold the casing lessening bolt head fatigue/damage and it assists in the sealing of the chamber preventing gas blowback.
I just spoke with HK about my MR762 experiencing some FTF’s due to the nose jamming into the ramp and that was one of the 3 things they suggested, polishing the feed ramp, that they’ll do if I end up sending it in (along with all the other checks, recoil spring etc.)
Excellent job well done
Thank You. really appreciate it.
Thanks
well done gonna do this to my g3c
I'm glad you talked about the casing expanding against the chamber.
In various Vietnam veterans forums, there's been a lot of anecdotal incidents of the M16 jamming during a firefight. The fault there was not the weapon. It was the DOD switching to "ball powder", against the advice of Stoner. One consequence was that the ball powder accelarated the cycling of the weapon. That meant the bolt/extractor was moved rearward at the exact instance when the casing was most expanded against the chamber, causing the infamous "failure to extract".
Very nice detailed video. My S&W SD40VE tends to get hung up on me no matter what rounds I use. I'll give this a go and hopefully it does the trick!
Yes my SD40VE has the same issue I plan on doing this tonight aswell & hit the range tomorrow hopefully this solves that problem!
Did you try it and how are the results if so
@@suavviii9312 ?
@green_light_8 it worked like a charm I polished it really good & use rem oil, clean it often & thankfully irs been good no issues & no more jams
@Suavviii that's awesome and which polish did you use, I have the same issue just bought it too.
Great video Brother
Thank You brother.
GREAT JOB !
Thank You!!!
Going to do this with my wife’s .22 Mosquito. Big lip from the feed ramp to the breach, so any flat-ish hollow points miss feed like crazy.
great video. Thanks for posting
Thank You, Glad you enjoyed it.
Great vid! Thankyou!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Good one. have to remember this will come handy. TU
Thank You, Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video dude!!great information!! I will do for my ruger mk4 hunter!
Thank You brother, I really appreciate it.
@@TheHobbyGunsmith would you know where I could find a 22.,, polishing bobbin??to fit on a dill or dremmel? I’ll need to modify slightly cause of the distance to the chamber on my mk4
I usually use these types of kits as they tend to have a variety of sizes and the smaller ones should fit your .22 amzn.to/42Asfu8@@christophercraig9469

Lol when i saw that rotary tool i got scared, i was like "oh no, i hope he's not using some grinding stone". Thankfully youre not, just felt pads. Well done.
lol
Bro your picture reminds me of Tom from Myspace.
@@mantis_toboggan_md yeah I get that alot, i dont think Tom had panties hanging on the wall in his profile pic though lol??? I wish I had Tom's money though.

Me bc I use a dremel - thanks dude you rock👍❤️🇺🇸
Thank You brother. I appreciate that.
thanks
Chamber polishing issues are not unusual. Nice video!
Thanks 👍 I appreciate it.
Thanks. I have a pistol that fails to feed occasionally. This should help.
Glad this helped you my friend.
doing this to my security 380 asap its been having extraction issues here and there on cheapy ammo
My first gun 1shot n put away.7months later its jamming.did ur method 1st try no good I was too excited still jammed...second try disassembled n took my time with it and is like new.bullets slide right in.no jamming.thanks
Awesome glad that helped you out.
As the others say - THANKS! I have a new Ruger I'll be polishing today. I like a product called Semi-Chrome. It's great on metal fishing lures and other similar items. Do you have any vids on polishing other parts - triggers, etc?
Hey, Thank you and glad this helped, I do have other videos on polishing Glock internals for trigger job, and planning on doing a few on different platforms of weapons in the near future stay tuned.
Well done Sir... Thank you.
About to do this to my G3C. Everyone knows it doesn’t feed hollows well, but everyone I know who’s polished the ramp says it feeds hollows just fine. I tried shooting some hollows and it definitely had some malfunctions so we’ll see how well this works for me
Awesome, Hope it works out for you.
I did polish my unused Taurus barrel without the cleaning and like to thank you for the helpful tip!
Glad i was able to help my friend.
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful. Simple and straight to the point. I've just ordered a nice dremel, a set of bobs and compound. Looking forward to polishing up my feed ramps and chamber mouthes on some old guns that need it badly. Very nice detail on this. I wish more people made videos as good as this. I do have one question. Is there a way to clean the felt bobs for reusing them, or once they are used are they pretty much spent?
I would toss them. They get really nasty and I can't see it getting clean again. You'll love the results of the polish. I did mine months ago and am going to do some more of my weapons. There's also polishing of other internals, you'll find lots on UA-cam. Good luck.
@@jigs616161 thanks man. I appreciate the response!
Thank You glad you liked the video, and to answer your question i typically reuse the same bobs, just ake sure to use the same compound on them dont mix. you will be fine.
@@TheHobbyGunsmith good to know! I appreciate it!
Most felt bobs start breaking down and especially if you're polishing brand new factory fresh parts, they tend to be very sharp and precise which will start making the Bob spray little bits of the felt everywhere and you don't want that in your gun
An 8 stage nail buffer works perfect for this
You better start uploading more
I plan to. Working on new videos I want to start putting out soon. I love making the videos and try to put the best quality I can out. It’s a learning curve with the filming and editing part lol.
Thanks man! GOOD info.My baby gonna Shooot niiiiiiiice!
Glad you enjoyed. thanks for the comment.
Big boss approved
Just did this tonight. I used the conical bob you used on the ramp, and I used mothers. However, my conical felt bob was kind of the hard felt one. Same color as yours, but I'm hoping I didn't dope it up by using the harder felt bob, or does it make no difference? I just got the mirror finish to show on the ramp and chamber interior a bit, and lower RPM and less time than you did.
Subbed by the way, sir. Thank you for showing that dremels, when used properly, won't burn the steel away like a damn grinding wheel. :D
Makes no difference the compound does all the work. speed does play its part though, but as long as its smooth you are golden. Glad this video helped you out sir.
Absolutely delicious.
Thank You, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video but you forgot to do anything with the transition radius between the feed ramp and the chamber.
Very well done vid! I have an M&P .45 pistol. Can u tell me the correct size of felt-bob to use for the chamber and/or where to purchase them? Thnx.👍
Hey J.W. you can find tge set of bobs for the rotary tool linked in the description. Id say go with the size that fits nicely in your barrel. There really isnt any caliber specific
Appreciate the video. Have a CZ 75D that didn't want to feed HP. Ramp felt smooth so I went ahead with a light polish and it turned out well (cycled a mag of HP). I'll get it to the range soon for more testing.
That is awesome, Glad this helped you out.
I have a new cz 75 pcr as well that's having issues feeding and ejecting HP's as well as bulk federal range ammo. Have you had yours out to range since polishing? Trying to decide if I should polish myself; or contact Cz for them to do to keep warranty intact?
@@lewisscruggspaintingco.pai1498 Yes, went through 100 rounds without any issues. Really wish CZ would have polished the feed ramp at the factory, but the fix was easy enough on my end. Curious, did you end up sending yours in, or polishing yourself? Any other issues?
@newenglandstacker no haven't polished yet or looked into sending it in; but stripped and cleaned and oiled it up. The insides were bone dry. Cycled a few mags through just by racking the slide with no issues. Will get out to range with a couple hundred rounds soon to see if that was the issue. If any hiccups this time will go from there and keep you posted🤞 glad yours is running now 👍👍
Update: Cleaned and then oiled well w Hoppes#9. Ran flawlessly about 300 rounds; several different types of bulk range ammo and some heavier hollow points too. Shot super smooth and accurate, very nice shooter. Can't wait to get back out to continue breaking in and making sure that's all it needed
Great video. Do they make caliber specific felt bobs I need to polish my p22
Normally the sets come with different sizes. i just look for one that fits right.
Great video. What diameter felt you using for 9mm/ .380? I am assuming 8mm or 3/8.
Thanks, found the link.
Heat is your enemy!
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice outstanding
