I was reading this thread, http://mp-pistol.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=2291 , and it was talking about polishing the chamber and feed ramp. By the way, Dan Burwell did a very nice job on the gun in that thread!!
So I have a couple of questions please. I am still not an expert about all the terminology about guns. When you say chamber, are you talking about where the bullet is sitting after it has been stripped from the magazine inside the barrel? If so, are you polishing the whole inside of that chamber, or just around the lip of the chamber? If the inside of the chamber is being polished, can a Dremel tool and a felt wheel be used to do this. Maybe use some Flitz on the felt wheel? And then I assume you are just polishing the feed ramp like many do one the little Kel-Tecs and probably many other auto loaders also? Am I also correct in thinking that you don't really try to change the shape of anything, just polish it well?
Thanks for any info.
Ron
