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 problem on the new models ? I was thinking on buying a new Mini 30 tactical model , But I don't know now ,untill I find out more about if this is a problem ? any Info will be helpfull , thanks.

Have not heard this yet. I did have, for a brief time, a Tactical that in 120 rounds chewed up the extractor plunger. It looked like it had been worked on with vise grips. Ruger had no explanation except to send out a new part. I will be watching this pin story though.
