So I just got a 181 series Mini 14 the other day, beautiful rifle, awesome condition with a 20 round LE marked Ruger magazine. I took it to the range for the first time tonight and with 4 different bullet weight rounds i was getting spin outs in all the different brands/weights at 25 yards or less. The other major issue I am having is the brass itself is coming out only far enough to jam the neck of the casing into the top of the chamber, basically holding the bolt back so that I have to manually clear and load the next round. Keeping in mind this is consistent with 4 different ammunitions I am using. Who here knows what the heck to look for or knows what's going on? My last question is, is there any aftermarket rear sights to replace the factory rear peep sight? Josh |
| older minis were 1 in 7 IIRC newer ones are 1 in 9. I think the 181 could be either buy I am not sure. Check perfectunion.com, that is the best place for mini info IMO. Typically with a mini, your brass is going to be bouncing off the head of the guy 5-6 stations down from you on the firing line. So something is a miss. I would check that everything is cleaned, then I would check to see if the barrel is totally shot out (set a loaded round in the business end of the barrel and see how much of the projectile disappears), then take a look at the gas block. Could be that something happened to it. Also make sure that everything is moving smoothly and what not. If all else fails send it to gundoc on perfect union. He has done a lot of my gunsmithing, and is not too far from me. He does excellent work, is quick about it and knows the mini inside and out (that 90% of what he does). Heck, send it to him, have him figure it out and do a trigger job for you at the same time. As for the rear sights, there are a few. Google it, or search Perfectunion.com, you will find what you need. I had a Ranch so the sights are totally different. |
