Hey folks-- new member here and ran into a problem thought I'd throw out and see if anyone here has seen it/fixed it before.
Just got a new Ruger Mini-30. Have an old Russian SKS, fun as heck to shoot but weighs a ton, so thought I'd double up on ability to burn up a lot of 7.62 ammo gathering dust. Found out that it won't feed any steel cased ammo. Changed out multiple mags, just won't feed. Had a few boxes of Winchester brass that fed without a problem. Yeah, can just get brass but it's a lot more expensive and have a lot of steel cased (South African make, not the crap East Bloc, but still oiled steel).
