I have the mini-14 target model with laminate thumbhole stock. Love this gun but it was throwing brass into the next county and I reload.
So I installed the ASI adjustable gas block. The adjustable gas block works great but now I am getting at least one FTE per 10 -20 rounds.
I feel like I eliminated the gas block as the problem since I backed it all the way out so it was not restricting the factory gas flow and the FTE's continued. I have tried this with factory mags which I have never had an issue with.
It seems like the cases eject inconsistently. Some go 10 or so feet front right, some go 6-12 inches and land on the bench, I have had a couple go left somehow as well. It's more like I am not getting a consistent gas seal when the charging arm returns.
Anyway, I am at a loss as to how to fix this and I really do not want to go back to the factory gas block.
I get this behavior with the gas block adjusted just enough to eject all the way to wide open.
Any ideas?
