I’ve been getting some very inconsistent ejection and groupings with my mini 14. My chronograph is broken but I suspect my velocities are varying substantially. Confident it is not an ammo issue. Was thinking it might be an ignition issue.
I noticed that if I pull the charging handle to the rear and look at the firing pin it doesn’t seem to be under any spring tension. Tipping the rifle down I can see the firing pin slide inside the bolt. Tipping the rifle back I can see it slide about 1/4 inch out the back of the bolt.
Is this normal? I’ve had no misfires.
Thanks
