Hey, this could be VERY useful! I was told by a European shooter that they have a fix for Ruger Mini 14/30 inaccuracy. Supposedly, when the gas hole is drilled into the barrel, it "puches" into the barrel and leaves some metal around the whole that extends into the barrel and effects accuracy. Could you do this to a Mini 14 and see if it is true? According to this European shooter, they always lapp the barrel in order to wear away this excess material.
Thanks for any help,
Gino
PS I see Pinellas in your email. If you are in Florida, I could maybe drive on over if needed! I live about two hours away.
