Tokarev TT-33 troubleshooting and modification thread

F.Y.I. I picked up a TT-33 compensator from Gunpartswarehouse and it won't fit my Polish TT on the first attempt.
It's going to take some custom fitting to get it on.
 
I recently shot both my Russian (1944) and Polish (1954). About 100 shots of corrosive Hungarian ammo through each. This time I stored them for 10 day without cleaning, fully expecting to find light rust in the barrels when I return to them (has happened before).

The Russian did exactly that but the Polish shows absolutely no rust anywhere! Am I missing something that everybody else knows?

How does one polish a feed ramp? I'm new to pistols and have been having jamming and feeding issues, and I'm told to polish the feed ramp, but where should I polish and with what?

Gillen... here's a couple of pics of my Polish Tok, the first shows a pic of the feed ramp, the second shows it ftf at the range. The slide had to be pushed ahead after each round. I stripped it down and polished the feed ramp with small pieces of scotch brite pads until all the black was gone, and it was bright and shiney, I've had it to the range several times since, and not a single issue of failure to feed.

Maybe it's because the Russian did shoot many many rounds before beened really cleaned up thouroughly and it did had small rust Inside barrell installed deeper in the metal....compare to the Polish that is most of the time unissued....??
 
I haven't played with it in a while, but I rechambered one of my T54's from 9mm Luger to 38 Super. Rechamber, and use a 7.62X25TT mag. A bit of extractor tuning and it's done. This can't be done on the common M213's from the Canada Ammo deal a few years back.

Anyone else do this?
