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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

Polishing the feed ramp seems to be a good idea since it may get dirty from the rounds brushing up against it and the factory may not have put in as much care to do this job, now then; the chamber maybe something different, do you think the engineers who designed the barrel did not take into account the fact the round casing was going to expand as it was fired? That to me is a little questionable. To me I would only do that if I was getting some problems with the round being pulled out and causing something like a stovepipe or smokestack situation.

you are partially right. the chamber does not get done at the factory because its a extra step/process that adds additional cost to manufacture, and we all know manufactures are looking for highest profit possible even if it means cutting a corner or two. now if your getting something custom built by hand by a dedicated gunsmith, i guarantee you all of this would be done before you are presented with your new firearm.

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 KZitem. Good luck.

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

I don't know much about this and the question is if you're just trying this out is it possible to over due the polishing and mess it up? I guess that's what I'm trying to say lol idk if it's a dumb question lol I wanna maybe attempt to try it but I don't wanna screw it up

I mean if your careful and use a fine grit you will be fine. just polish enough to make it smooth and you will be good. it does not take much trust me.

How does polishing the chamber not change the actual characteristics of the chamber? If the chamber is at the limit of spec, by polishing it you are oversizing the chamber. Will this not create the chance for ruptured cases and gas blowing back?

When your polishing the chamber you are not removing enough material to cause any issues, your going with very very fine grit polishing compound.

How many times should you polish the ramp and chamber? Just once or every after hunders of rounds?

I normally only have to do it once. i dont think once its been smoothed out you would have to repeat unless you somehow manage to rough up that surface which is very unlikely.

There is not a specific time, its mainly till its smooth and polished. all depends on your tool and compound. but main thing is take it slow and take your time.

@@vashmatrix5769 Either option will give you the same results, just one will take longer than the other to reach the desired polished finish because the higher grit count. - Mag Polish is around 4 micron, so ~5000 grit - Flitz is 3-3.5 micron, around 7-8000 grit Hope this helps to clarify a bit.

I just bought a Taurus TX22 and the feed ramp has a coating on it from the manufacture. Should I wait until the coating wear off before polishing it or polish it before using the weapon? Also where can I find the Brownell 555 at ?

I would recommend shooting it first and see how it functions, if it doesn't need it don't do it until the finish starts to wear off.
