I like it but one thing Remington didn’t do is polish the barrels feed ramp. I did it myself but shouldn’t have had to.

That bothers me too. It's basically an incompletely manufactured product! I think the only thing the consumer should have to do with a new gun is clean out any excess of protective oils or greases that were used to protect the firearm in the time between manufacture and purchase.

It was surprising given the quality of the rest of the gun...ramp actually wasn’t part of the barrel, but in the throat of the frame where the magazine tops out, but it wasn’t even bare - still had their form of parkerizing on it. You could even see the rought grind marks on it. Worked okay with copper jackets, but I suspect LRN or other softer metals might FTF more easily than copper.

It took a good bit of a Dremel buff wheel cylinder (great for 45 ACP) and a lot of jeweler’s rouge to grind and polish it out.
