Most Colt feeding problems stem from magazine lips being a bit "off", which is why God invented needle-nosed pliers. Maybe ten percent of feeding problems involve the ramp or some misalignment; said misalignment often stemming from efforts of would-be gunsmiths...
I've fired a lot of GI Ball ammo, and while I would agree that a recoil buffer would be helpful, I've never had any problems with the "hot stuff". With or without guide rods has never had any effect whatsoever in my various Government models.
I like to stay with the KISS principle, and a lot of problems with the 1911 seem to follow some not-well-done efforts to "improve" the pistol...
A fellow named Halleck has an inexpensive book with info on accurizing and tweaking the Government model. His ideas have been trouble-free for me.
As with race-motors, one tweak at a time is the safest way to go. You at least will know if any change is "better or worster".
Buena suerte, Art
