More polishing, same results, however I think I may have found the issue. I believe that there is a slight ridge at the top of the upper ramp in the chamber entrance that would explain why rounds are kicking up instead of forward. You can see the area circled in the photo, I believe that easing...

Yeah my Dad started there in the early 70's. Pretty cool. Makes me sad that the headquarters relocated. I remember going to the factory on Family days, was so cool. I also remember going to Mountain Park in Holyoke on the Smith and Wesson family day there.

That's awesome, it's highly likely that my Dad and your uncle knew each other. The watch and ring are in amazing condition.

I gave it a light polish yesterday and didn't notice much improvement. There is still some of the coating on the lower ramp, it's not fully bright yet. I'll get it bright. I don't see any lip on the ramp though.

Thank you, he was a tough guy, the doctors told my Mom that he would probably never walk again but he walked out of the in-patient therapy center a year later and went on to bust his *** for 30 more years with significant paralysis on his right side. And he was not left handed before the stroke.
