I need some help assessing the damage done by some gun plumber with a dremel.
Now, we all know how Glocks won't work right without extensive throating and feed ramp modification, right? Right? Oh, I guess we don't know that. Because Glocks just run, if you don't try to "improve" them.
Can someone post some pics of a virgin, un-defiled Glock 21 feed ramp and chamber throat? He seemed to give special attention to the 10 and 2 o'clock areas and I need to decide if I will shoot it and see or just toss it.
Thanks,
Bruce

I don't have my G21 here, but- does this help?

I appreciate it. I'm hoping for a picture looking up from the bottom of the ramp so I can see the angles at 10 and 2. I only have 9 and 40 barrels to compare it to.

RNShooter, here are photos of the chamber of my G21 from different angles. I hope they show what you are looking for.
Thank you very much! Exactly what I needed. It looks like they took just a little metal off from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock. Maybe a touch at 4 and 8 but not much. Maybe flattened the angle of the feedramp, at the top, just a touch. I would not have done it but it looks safe to shoot (for a Glock).
Thanks for the help!
