(I took these pictures of the feed ramp before cleaning the entire barrel, I know it still needs some cleaning)

I’ve made a few posts in here about rounds being dented/eaten up when manually ejected from battery, paired with the occasional failure to feed issue (shown in image #4)

When I noticed the issue, I had recently installed the ZR Tactical V Spec guide rod and spring, as well as their +4 baseplate. I suspected the issue was caused by the guide rod, so I purchased Ghost Inc +10% mag springs to help get rounds up into the chamber faster, but the issue kept happening.

To test, I cleaned the gun then tried all combinations of the stock guide rod, ZR guide rod, stock mag, +4 mag, +10% mag springs- everything. They all continued to produce dented rounds when I manually ejected after firing 3-4 rounds.

A few suggested checking the feed ramp for chips. Is this chipped? And if so how easy would it be to get Walther to replace it? Has anybody else run into this issue?

Follow up to my earlier post, check it out if you haven’t seen it.

Recently bought at ZR Tactical VSpec guide rod and spring, as well as their +4 base plate.

While trying them out, I noticed the end of rounds coming out dented from what looks like getting caught on the feed ramp. I initially thought it was from one of the new parts, specifically the guide rod, so I ended up buying Ghost +10% mag springs to see if they could help the rounds get up into the chamber faster.

After testing, they still come out dented. I tried putting the stock rod/spring back in, as well as using stock mags and got the same result. Rounds come out dented when I manually eject them after about 3-4 cycles. I also started getting failure to feed and eject errors, which I never got before “upgrading”. Tried another type of ammo and got similar markings. The 3rd picture shows a rounds that got stuck on the feed ramp after 4 rounds or so.

Has anybody experienced this before? Where do I need to look to identify the issue? Open to answering any questions.
