Hey folks!
I was pointed here by some fine folks at calguns.net.
My mini-14 has about 300rnds through her. When she is warm, say after 20-30rnds I can't manually work the bolt to eject a live round. No matter how hard I try. I have to fire it to get it out. (It cycles rounds perfectly, no jams, spent casings fly out, etc.) I can run snap caps all day at home when she's cold with no issues. Cleaning hasn't made a difference. I run 55gr Remington .223 rounds, and that's all she has ever fired.
Anyhow, I am assuming its a warmth thing. It could also be something is just enough out of whack that it just works itself into malfunction by 30rnds and is reset by cleaning.
Any ideas? Thanks!
