I wanted a mini14 0R 30 for along time, i finally got a 14 today, i had to drive 2 hours to get it, it looked dirty,but everything felt smooth, its a old one 2 [1978] according to the serial#,
anyways, the guy told me he got it and never shot it due to living in the burbs, i got it and went back to the house, took it to the feild to shoot it, and when i shot it the action wouldnt come back all the way, itll jump back some but not enough to chamber a bullet,
also when you try to chamber a bullet you have to yank back on it pretty hard to get it to grab a bullet ,if you dont the bolt will just push a bullet into the chamber and the bolt will be behind the bullet and the firing pin wont strike due to the bolt not being all the way foward, then you have to pull the bolt back and pull the bullet out the chamber,anyway I brought it inside and tore it down cleaned everything, bolt, recoilspring, trigger group, etc.
its shiny and clean now, i called the guy and told em and he says he"ll send me a moneyorder if i cant fix it and have to buy parts or send it to a gunsmith,
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS THING FUNCTIONING PROPERLY,ID LOVE TO SEE THIS OLD BEAUTY WORKING CORRECTLY,,
THIS IS A SIMPLE SETUP AND I FEEL IF I CAN GET THE RITE INFO I CAN FIX IT MYSELF, BUT I NEED SOME INPUT FROM SOME MINI OWNERS, THNX FOR THE HELP, ALL INPUT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED
