Out of the box, the stock barrel could only feed ball ammo, and wouldn't even take any defense JHP ammo. Even after the 50 rounds, it still felt like it was new and the JHP's barely budged from the mag, and would just hang up on the ramp.
So I gave it a little polishing, similar to what I had done for the Mil-Spec's barrel and frame. I just used some 600 grit sand papers on the ramp, and ran it north-south on the ramp to take away the grove lines that ran east-west. The end result is a mirror finish.
Out of the box barrel ramp, after the range, 50 rounds of Remington ball ammo:
Out of the box barrel ramp, after wiping off the gun powder and grit:
Polished, 600 grit sandpaper. Don't mind the slight markings on there, it was from my fingernail checking the smoothness of the surface:
Now it will feed JHP's without hanging up on the ramp.
Next will be heading to the range for some more ball ammo, and try out some Hydra Shok JHP's.
