he shouldn't have to cut on anything, just polish the ramp of the gun. I have one that seem to be brand new and it feeds fine , and I've done nothing to it except change the springs in it, even on my 100 grn lead bullets , witch auto loader weren't designed to shoot they were designed to shoot jacketed bullets

I was thinking of trying that with the spare mag.

can you dremil a lil off the front of the mag Norm? Like a half moon?

I polished the ramp with some silver polish and also smoothed out a tiny ridge at the bottom of the ramp. It feeds both Winchester and Norinco properly now.

Thanx dolang1 and Norm for the advice

Now any ammo, Winchester and Norinco, seems to stick on the feed ramp, but only when racking the first round. After that, all is fine.

Is there anything else I can check besides the smoothness of the feed ramp? I got rid of a "burr" at the bottom of the ramp, and I thought that fixed it. Just went shooting today and had the same problem.

try pulling the slide all the way back and them letting it go and don't ride the side with your hand

Try racking a bunch of rounds through the pistol without firing (get thee to a safe place and point the pistol at something that is Ok to shoot). I've had semi-autos that would not feed right, especially that first round out of the magazine, until they were thouroughly broken in.

I've had a similar problem and documented it ages ago...it was an aftermarket mag. The top of the mag had bent somehow and the metal had weakened (or was already weak due to "cheap" metal...possibly). But each time I seemed to manipulate the mag it seemed to get worse, bent, mis-shapened.

Got rid of that mag and got rid of my problem.
