Anyone use this mil.spec. 5.56 xm855 green tip 62. gr. nato surplus ammo in there mini 14 , i have never used it , but i would like to find out before i do, is this stuff to hot for the mini or bad on the firing pin ? thanks for any info.

Most of us know the old stories about the firing pins , but what about the new ranch an tactical models , Theres some talk on another forum that popular on MINI 14/30 's where some new owners has firing pin breaking , or possible bad bolts causeing the pins to break , does any one had this...

I been thinking on A new one soon , after hurricane Katrina my mini 14 served me well for home defence and patrol rifle around the Farm , but i like to have something a little heavier round than the 223 rem. thanks for the reply.

Has anyone bought one , if you have whats your opinion over all on Quality an reliablity , I know about the problems with the steel case ammo , I have Rugers an know the good Quality guns , but anything new , some times there A few bugs to be worked out , any info would be thankfull.

Elmstreet , is your carbine one of the later models to be made , like the last few years , ? thanks.

how true ,so the two cent washer and the cost of a small order shipping from brownells will cost about ten bucks.

its A three dollar and ninety nine cent washer , Blume 357 , thanks , but you don't have to go through the trouble , I am going to decode the serial numbers and see , the manual says , if so equipped , i don't understand Ruger at times the way they do things.

thanks folks for the help , I will check the serial numbers on my rifle and see if it should have one or so equipped and Brownells has them in stock.
