Our Polish Feed Ramp service is performed by our licensed gunsmith at The Freedom Dispenser Company. We use progressively finer abrasives to bring the feed ramp to a smooth, mirror-like finish without removing metal or changing geometry. This improves reliability especially with hollow point and semi-wadcutter ammunition.
What Does Polish Feed Ramp Include?
- Inspection of current feed ramp condition
- Progressive polishing from coarse to fine compound
- Polish of barrel throat and chamber mouth if applicable
- Final inspection with bore light to confirm geometry is maintained
- Function test with representative ammunition
Why Would You Need Polish Feed Ramp?
A rough feed ramp is one of the most common causes of failures to feed, especially with hollow point defensive ammunition. Customers request a feed ramp polish when:
- Failure to feed with hollow point defensive ammunition
- New firearm is reliable with FMJ but not with carry ammo
- Visible machining marks or roughness on the feed ramp
- Adding a new barrel where the feed ramp may need dressing
- General reliability upgrade on a carry gun

Frequently Asked Questions
Does polishing the feed ramp affect reliability with FMJ?
No. Polishing improves reliability across the board.
Can you over-polish a feed ramp?
Yes, removing too much material can change the feed angle. We use a light, controlled approach and inspect frequently to avoid this.
Is a feed ramp polish always the fix for failure to feed?
Not always. It’s one cause among several. If your gun still has failures after a polish, we’d look at magazine lips, extractor tension, and recoil spring weight.
