Color it with a marker and cycle some brass to see precisely what needs to be removed

Economist,

From your own photo, the blueprint say the narrow part of the follower channel should be 0.725"-0.735" wide. It says the vertical edges of those "bumps" should be radiused 0.05" all the way to the bottom. It is hard to tell from your photo if you have that radius or not. The corners look awfully sharp, but I can't tell for certain.

Unclenick, thanks for the help! I measured the channel and it is about .728 so it is a little on the tight side. The edges do not appear to be radiused at all. They are almost sharp to the touch. It looks like I have some more filing to do.

Please reduce the sizer of your pictures. 1024 x 1820 is far too big. Take forever to load this page for a dial up member.
Aside from a CAI receiver being suspect, M1 Rifles to tend to bash the empties on the receiver on the way out. Not a big deal.
