i have a mini 30 i just bought and not having fun. the first problem is when i shoot a round off the the trigger gaurd pops open so i cant fire anymore. then second problem is when i pull back the bolt and release it, it seems to almost get stuck and slides real slow half way back to the closed position.:mad: please help
 
Sounds like something is either not assembled right, or is bent.

First thing I'd check is to make sure the metal insert in the stock that forms the magwell (the one held in place by the screw on each side of the stock) is in there correctly, and is tight. The forward stock liner goes underneath the tab on the front of that.

Second, fit the trigger assembly to the receiver without the stock and make sure the catches on the front of the trigger assembly line up with the recesses in the receiver. If something is bent, that would explain both your problems.

Finally, I'd check to make sure the bolt carrier/gas piston, bolt, etc. are assembled in there correctly.

BTW, when you shoot it and the trigger assembly falls out, is the guard popping open, or is it falling out with the guard still closed?
 
mini 30

the assembly doesn't fall out, the trigger gaurd pops open. and that stops the gun from firing
