Like the total says, I got a new Mini-14 (582 series, new in out of the box) that I'm having failures to eject with.
Fired 140 rounds today, using Ruger OEM mags, mix of PMC .223 and IMI 556 NATO ammo, and I had 8 FTEj.
Bolt is locking back on the empty mag, extraction is fine, each stoppage had the fired brass fail to clear the bolt face, causing the bolt to stop short on the return stroke when the case mouth hit the receiver. I was able to clear the stoppage by pulling the CH back and removing the fired case. When I tried to clear the case by just pulling the CH back the fired brass remained on the bolt face.
The ejector looks normal, as does the bolt.
Anything I'm missing, or just call Ruger Monday and arrange a trip to the factory?
