6132expert Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah I expected to have a few small miss haps. I am thinking about having the feed ramp reramped. There is a step between the ramp and the barrel and I was thinking that it would be much better if that step wasn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 If the barrel does not protrude past the frame ramp when pushed back and the gun feeds okay then I would leave it alone. The 1911 is designed to have a slight offset between the ramp and bottom of the barrel (bottom of the barrel being slightly forward of the top edge of the feedramp). Every 1911 I've owned that didn't have a ramped barrel had this offset and it has never been a problem. I've been 'smithing 1911's for 30 years and that is my opinion, for what it's worth.
