It could be the answer to solving the FTF problem some have had when using low velocity or target ammo.

That is correct. I did this on my 10/22 and it surprised me how much smoothing I makes chambering ammunition. It theoretically should improve feeding (it did when I polishedthe hammer on my Walther P22), so it might help some.
@CPTbeaker: yes defintely don't remove much, just use the pink womens emery board. It provides a nice flat surface to sand with. The goal is toremove the higher metal ridges andsmooth thugs out, thus why I stopped where I did without getting the pits ( I wanted to play it safe).
