Dave3006 is right,you must be very firm,but not vulger,kindof like it's already a given that you are getting your way.I'm really surprised you guys are having such a problem with Ruger,as I have seen some pretty amazing service from them. A friend of mine bought a screwed-up mini14 at a gunshow that looked like it was dragged behind a truck and then filled with C4. OK,maybe it was'nt quite so ugly,but it was way beyond repair! Anyhow,all my buddy did was send it to Ruger,and in a couple of weeks he had a coupon for a brand new mini14 in his hand! NO S***!! I think sending a rifle back for the same problem more than ONCE is unacceptable! And if it was me,I would'nt accept anything but a new gun,because as you say,it looks like nothing will help this defective mini you were cursed with!
I am an idiot!!!
Hi all, I just wanted to check in and share my frustration with Ruger. I made a post last August about an extraction problem with my Mini-14. Dave3006 warned me to just demand another rifle. He had the same model and the same exact extraction problems. I didn't think I had the leverage to make such demands at the time. Well now nine months later, I could have saved myself the same headaches. But instead, I have sent my Mini in 3 three times and Ruger's lame service department has returned it to me three times. But I still have the same extraction problems when the barrel heats up (after 30 rounds). It's with Ruger for the fourth time now. I have a feeling, my experience will be the same as Dave's. Send it in four times and finally demand a new rifle. I should have listened to Dave. I am an idiot!!!
Who knows, maybe I am the sap who bought Dave's original rifle that Ruger never figured out how to repair. Seems more likely there was a batch of Stainless Minis out there that were screwed up from the factory.

Exactly right, stress the safety issue! And don't be appeased by anything less than getting what you want and deserve.Originally posted by Dave3006
One more thing. You have to demand a new gun. Nothing else is acceptable. You don't trust this gun anymore. You have to tell them how to fix the problem and make you go away. Be specific.
