Sez the barrel is free-floated? :shock: I dunno, maybe, I'll check the clearance today. Maybe the rail doesn't touch the gas block and the pin is to hold the op rod in place.. It looks mighty tight though.

Click to expand... I love my Mini, but I didn't take those as jabs. There were problems that have been addressed, and that's a good thing.
