How to polish feed ramp?

[Challenger76]

Just wondering how some of you clean up the feed ramp on your pistols. My shield ez has a nice shiny functional feed ramp. But my Walther pk380 has a marred, ugly feed ramp (bought used that way) and it sometimes don't eject property and I'm wondering if this is why. Thanks

if you're having an ejection issue and not a feeding issue, you might want to look at places like the extractor or the ejector rather than the feed ramp.

Don't leave us in suspense. Check back in and let us know if you are able to get it running the way it should!

I took the Walther apart and did a very thorough cleaning. Turns out the previous owner must have never cleaned it. It was filthy! Got the feed ramp polished up nice but can't go shoot it till I get more ammo. Right now I only have enough ammo to keep my mags full

Great to hear. I love a nice polished feed ramp. Personally I finish up the feed ramp with a 3000 grit and then a 5000 grit for a mirror-like surface. This also makes it super easy to clean after shooting. Hopefully the overall cleaning will help the ejection problem.
