Never mind the driver. I think I'll get a trigger job next.
They allow one "A zone" hit to neutralize. Since I'm in Kalifornia Kompliant division I opt for one shot at each target. Two more vids from an August match. Take a look at my channel for a few more. M1thumb channel

I've said it before, I'm learning to like it. I only bought it when I was transferred to CA. I wanted a gun that was not hobbled by a stupid bullet button (although I have plenty) and it fit the bill. It does need a trigger job.
I want to shoot a match somewhere other than CA with normal capacity magazines. I bet I won't come in last - and I don't mean ahead of all the DQ's and DNF's. |

Looks like fun. I love the Mini.
What muzzle attachment do you have? Looks like the mag change in second vid caught you up a bit. What happened? Do you think a longer mag body would help mag changes(if it were legal) or were you just hurrying and missed locking in the front or rear lug. |

I love how the Mini looks. I would buy one in 7.62x39 if I could find the right price. I have been looking a long time and haven't found that price. The fact I have had three AR-15s in that caliber tells the entire story.

The mag Change went bad because I was changing with one in the chamber and a full mag is hard to seat on a closed bolt. It fell out so I ended up ejecting the round and seating on an open bolt. I have a smith enterprise brake. It was experessly designated as CA legal. It's not the best, no down force just straight back recoil mitigation. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

That makes sense on the mag change.
I thought the brake looked like it did a good job and I could see the gas discharge out the muzzle in one vid. |

The brake helps. I got a JP that I'm going to try.
I thought about the longer mags. I'd have to rivet them or something to 10 rounds but I've actually got used to the short ones. I can carry them in my shell caddies. |

You should swap it out for this one, it has vents on top fto keep the muzzle down. The M1 Garand version i have works really well.

It works but I need downward force like in your second pic. The JP should work, but don't know how it will look on the mini. |
