The OP so kindly drew a picture for us, and I am just wondering if this is a safe thing to do?
Polishing the ramp and even the cocking roller is perfectly safe... so long as you don't go crazy with it. Honestly, you're not gonna remove enough metal from simply polishing to make the bolt unsafe from this.
Anyway... I tried this with a couple of my rifles and honestly could never tell a phenomenal difference with any but 1 of them. One of them was especially bad and a polish (along with a little bit of grease applied to the ramp and cocking roller) made a huge difference. Don't expect a miracle.
