Who has polished the feed ramps?
Throw your tools away. Get another hobby.
My RIA came with a butt ugly ramp. Not smooth at all. I bet that better than half of the 1911 haters on this forum would have attacked it with a dremel, and the majority of those would have rendered it nonfunctional. It still looks and is the same, and works just fine.
See a lot of those guns with shiny feed ramps in the use gun departments. All brands, not just 1911's. Like you said, my guess is, that is why they are there.
That feed ramp is part of the frame in standard 1911's.Dramatic modification, but one of the first thing some people do.
