Hi, first post here. I just picked up a Mini 14 SS series 182. The gun looks to be in very good condtion except for these 2 items. The bottom of the front sight appears to have some cracks in the metal, not wide but they are there. also some in the top of the gas block, not the block itself but the top piece. I am thinking that these two areas are not much of a concern, under the gas block top I do not see the cracks, just in the surface on the outside. Of course I did not take off the front sight to see if those go thru or not, don't think that is an important area for safety concerns. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim
