French FRF2 Sniper rifle

Has anyone else encountered an issue with the feed ramp of their rifle? I bought mine secondhand, started putting a few rounds through it and noticed that rounds feeding from the right side of the magazine sometimes get caught up, and it looks like over time have gouged out tracks in the bore and entrance to the chamber. Any recommendations on what to do? Seriously bummed out that this happened to such a rare rifle.
The gouges are pretty deep (definitely can catch a fingernail) so I'm worried polishing them down will change the geometry too much. Another question is how this happens in the first place?
Yes, I received it about a week ago. A user manual wasn't included. Attempts to get one from Navy Arms was fruitless other than sales lady called me back to tell me that their "armorer" told her that I could download one at "scrome.com." This is not the case. A very thumbnail four-page fact sheet can be obtained but not the user manual.
I notice that the new ones supposedly cranked out in small batches (starting in '22, I read) by Scrome did/do include a user manual. (The Navy Arms package did NOT include one.) Me, not being Mr. Telescopic, needed the manual. E-mail to Scrome/Elynxo has not yielded a response. Posts to various YouTube sites also negative.
Any advice on this deceptively tricky goal (acquiring a user manual) would be appreciated.
Scrome gave the scope J8 to be shipped to the US and Australia, the company is in the process of preparing the export and import documents to the US and declaring and paying American customs taxes, the administrative time is a little long for you, it will happen
Reloading as close as possible to the Scrome j8 stadometer graduations with graduations, 100 meters, zeroing 200 meters, 300 meters, 400 meters….up to 800 meters
Most accurate warheads 167 Lapua, Hornady 168, Sierra 168 etc
For vithanouri N140 =44 grains speed 815 m/s corresponds to the graduation of J8 f1
this reloading are my own attempts and in no case to be reproduced without prior stairs, for which I am not responsible in the event of an accident

Apparently a good number of the FRF2s he's seen have the same kind of damage (can you guys confirm/deny)? He says it's caused by loading the rifle with some of the rounds in the magazine too far forward. The magazine is decently oversized so there's definitely room to load the rounds into the mag without pushing them all the way to the rear. I tested this theory by loading a mag with all the rounds flush in the back and cycling the rifle -- no feeding hangups so I guess that was the culprit.
The armorer recommended taking a jeweler's file to level out the track marks but I don't think I want to do any amateur smithing on an $8k rifle. Knowing how to avoid inducing the issue is good enough for now.
Mine has similar damage. No problems feeding, though.
