Did you recountour the ramp n polish it or just polish it?  Reshaping n then polishing seems to be more helpful than just polishing it since the little curve at the bottom of the feedramp seems to be part of the FTF problem.
I think I sense a new stronger mag spring suggestion coming from someone too.  :)

No, I did not reshape the ramp, only polished. I am afraid to get it wrong. Do you know a gunsmith who can get it right it?

Mike at cz-usa. I have not had the chance to go n fire hps yet but they seemed to cycle fine manually.  I think stronger recoil spring n FMGR also help push/pull the bullet up the ramp n into the chamber better.
Mike's reshaping of the feedramp is a little off center n to the right.  The right ridge of the feedramp is lower than the left n the groove itself is off to the right of the center a little.  It's so obvious that I'm thinking he must have done it that way on purpose for some reason although I can't figure out what it would be.  I hope to go shooting soon n see how it all works.
Having a local gunsmith do it would be much cheaper as cz-usa take $40 for the job plus you have to pay shipping to send the barrel n for them to send it back.  It makes more sense having Mike do it if you are having several things done at the same time.
