    I have two 30 round magazines that work in both ARs and Mini 14s. Made by Ramline a long time ago. Had a stainless mini and a blue steel one but they went to my brothers when it came time to divide my father's guns upon his passing. Been thinking about getting an AC 556 eventually...had the opportunity to carry one of those in Somalia, short barrel/folding stock setup was badass!

    Having a problem with ejecting brass cases. It would extract just fine, but when the rifle gets warm the ejector seems to miss the case. More often than not, the impact of the bolt at the end of travel would knock the case loose rather than the ejector.

    Tried changing the ejector/bolt hold open assembly. Worked for a short while then it came back again.

    It was fine new. After about 2k rounds, it's consistently having this problem.

    Can't seem to figure it out.

    Install a recoil buffer on the end of your recoil spring guide rod:

    I use these. They fit a M1911A1 as well as a Mini-14/30
