My Springfield Armory Range Officer had an issue with the slide. Firing a round, the brass would eject and then not go fully into battery. Any attempts at moving the slide failed, even after removing the recoil spring. Inserted a dowel rod into the barrel and pressing against the firing line bench without any movement. Then I saturated it in Rem Oil and let set for awhile and then was able to move the slide.
Friend of mine, who was also firing looked at the barrel link and noticed burrs resulting in resistance. Filed them down and then used emery paper to polish the link. Then I located the following video Atlas Gunworks and after all the filing and polishing it failed their test.
Scroll to :30 of video:
Assume when they drilled the holes for the barrel link, there must be burrs that wasn't removed.
Guess I need the tune up job, since we are limited to one video, I will provide the link to the Barrel Link Tuning by Atlas:

Anyone else ever have this issue?
