Got my mini a few days ago and...

And it is not function correctly

I got the SS tactical w/synthetic stock (not adjustable) and flash hider

I'm in NJ so I ordered some pro mag 10 rounders to use while my factory mags are getting re-fit to hold 15 rounds.

The problem is it is jamming really bad. I was lucky to get more than 3 rounds off without a jam. By "jam" I mean the case was stuck horizontally between the bolt and receiver.

It will be going back next week sometime and I'm sure they will take care of me especially since I have been reading about this happening a lot lately.

Before taking it to the range I stripped it down, clean and light lube. there was a LOT of burrs and metal trimmings inside, I was very surprised. Also the stock had molding seams that had not been sanded down and that was a surprise, especially since the MSRP is over 1k...

QC seems to be slipping and I hope they get control of it. Maybe I should send them my resume

Has anyone here experienced this and what was your turn around time from ruger?

 

Thats interesting because I have read that they work fine. I have read about this same problem on other boards and those guys were using factory mags. I have 5 of those mags and they all failed equally. If it was the mags I would expect at least one of five to work better or not work at all.

What was your experience?

 

ammo is PMC/x-tac/XP193/55gr

You dont like the promags either, huh? What was your experience with them?

 

all my jams were horizontal (case stuck between the bolt and receiver), NOT stove pipe, which leads me to believe that the bolt is not cycling properly. Could be the gas port or bolt issue??? This is my first mini so I am in the upward climb of the learning curve

I have 1k rounds of this ammo and will be reloading when I get enough brass built up.

 

Somebody needs to un-confuse me

Let me start off by saying to the best of my knowledge I have never had a bad mag for any weapon. From all my reading, a bad mag will not feed ammo or double feed.

All my Promags fed fine and did not double feed, so what else do bad mags do and why?

 

mine were feeding fine, just not ejecting correctly. When the did eject, brass was flying from the 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock positions and sometimes just falling out like it was rolled out of the gun. When going to the 12 position they would bounce off the front site.

 

Yep, you got it. All the cases look fine except for the ones that had the neck slammed into the receiver, they have a little dent but that should come out when I resize them.

 

I haven't reloaded any yet
