I am very new to Inkscape, and I have a logo that I had created. They left several issues, and refused to correct. I have been teaching myself how to use layers, etc. to clean up the original image, but I am still having an issue with cleaning up a jagged edge that should be smooth. This will eventually go on a 14x48 billboard, and I don't want the error to "grow".
I have attached the file, and if you look at the buttstock or rear of the gun, the edges are not smooth like the rest. I would really like to learn how to clean this up. I have tried using paths, simplifying, and smoothing, but nothing has provided the same clarity as the rest of the logo. Thank you for the assistance!
The gun part of the image, the back of the buttstock seems to be made of many many duplicated four sided shapes. Was this image some result of a vector tracing program from an existing image ?
If so you might be better off tracing from scratch on just the gun alone. Cut it out using a program such as GIMP into its own separate image. The either bring it into Inkscape at the highest resolution you have for the image and Object>Bitmap trace it.
Or since it is a simple outline, you could make a selection in GIMP, covert that to a path, export the path into Inkscape.
The SVG I have attached is a trace of a bitmap conversion of the image you posted, so some of the dimensions may have changed slightly.
Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, I am not sure, as it delivered as finished work. I haven't used GIMP, but I can give that a shot (pun intended).

All,

On second thought, ignore what I said before.
All it needed was repeated ungrouping of the gun object. It also appears to contain details for the adjustable stock mechanism.
Have a look at this image, you just need to delete the many duplicate paths you don't need then recombine paths or possible group again.
Thank you... I believe this is my best option!
