[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 3755861, member: 6064"] Well, first off most of them were "wash tub accurate" and nothing seemed to help. There was a place in Colorado that would rebarrel them and they did around 1-11/2 most, but it was expensive. My brother had his done and it was OK, except when it broke it's extractor Ruger didn't want to fix it because it was modified. We stripped another Mini of the extractor and sent that one in and they begrudgingly put a new extractor in, so when we got it back we had an extractor for my brothers. My dad's had two extractors break and each time Ruger wanted the rifle sent back. It usually took 4-6 weeks. Mine broke an extractor and a firing pin and a hammer. It was gone for over a year. Now I worked at the 22nd A.M.U. for the Marine Corps doing rifle team support for the last two years of my tour. My job was bedding and accurizing M-14s, so I knew what worked to make an M-14 accurate. None of the stuff I knew to do helped the Mini. I absolutely love the M-14. I still cook out a M-14 barrel every other year or so I shoot them so much, but I never could get a mini to work, and I second the fact that after market mags suck. If you can find them Ruger used to make 30 round mags, but to me it is an unsupportable system! They SUCK! [/QUOTE]
