Hi all,
Let me set this up by saying that I don't know much about auto-loaders and the various mechanisms involved (but I'm learning), and that I've only had the Mini-14 in question for about 5 months now.
Okay, now, here's the problem. Yesterday I took the Mini out to the range. I fired about 100 rounds. In four or five instances, I had a jam. What happened was that the round fed from the magazine fine, fired fine, but upon extraction the spent case didn't clear quick enough, the end result being that the bolt closed on the spent case, jamming it open and mangling the open end of the case.
Any ideas on what went wrong, and how I might try and correct things?
Thanks!
