Thanks for advise guys. I have been accused of putting too much oil on my guns , so I think I should be ok from where it is right now. I just got it all cleaned up and put together and was test feeding w/ a dummy 9mm round and it will get hung up on the sharp transition from the ramp to the chamber every time, which is actually good because the .45 ramp on the frame is not the problem. I'll just break the sharp edge at the transition and it should go right in.

Thanks again, John.
