Can someone explain how to properly gas my rifle. Does this need to be screwed in tight? Or what

>>33052629
Mini14 is a fun to shoot. I love that cha-ching of the action

>>33052679
I literally just screw it until it stops turning

>>33052629

what's a good price for an m1 carbine or an m1 garand? they both are pretty damn expensive from what I can tell.

how hard are semi-autos to maintain relative to bolt action rifles?

Does having a wood handguard on the Mini 14 affect accuracy?

I've heard that the choate is the best right now due to its huge ventilation holes, but the look of the wood is more "classic".

If you ignore the neckbeards grumbling out "huuu huuuuu garands were only $200 thirty years ago i would never pay more than that" autism or fags that shill the cmp but who themselves have not bought from them, you're looking at $850+ for either dependent on condition and how jew the seller is.

Son, I've got some bad news for you...

Has anyone actually done the bolt-face polish or firing pin replacement to get a Mini Thirty working with steelcase, or should I just get an SKS?

>>33056289
>tfw $800
Thank God for the cmp. I'd see these same 3 faggots have a table at my local gunshow for years with a few IHs someone used as a pry bar then a shovel with tags for ~$2,500. I think they were more about waving their dick around about their garands than willing to sell them.

>>33056303

it's made from surplus GI parts with rock ola markings on the tang. and made by national ordnance.

so I honestly don't know what the fuck it's worth is. I'm starting to ebb towards just saying fuck it to the m1 carbine since it seems a lot more people love the gun than I thought.

I'am really hurting for a Garand now. Unfortunately is isn't a lot of good deals to be had in Canakstan and you liable to pay $1500 for a parts gun rebuilt on a Beretta receiver.

If you're over gassed its the gas port getting too wide.

You'd also need an accu-strut or similar because the Mini Thirty still has barrel whip issues in modern manufacturing.

>>33059455
Is there an easy fix for that? It seems to feed regular commercial ammo just fine, but when i tried to feed it Federal M1 Garand ammo the rifle wouldnt pick up another round

>>33052666
from CoD? I dont know why we would need a modern garand when so many newer guns outperform it in so many ways. Sure its neat, but I wouldnt want one on a modern battlefield.

Kind of want an M1 Carbine, but I don't want to spend a lot. Most of the ones I see are over $900, is this the actual market or can they be had cheaper?

Universal is the only make to really be weary of due to non standard parts, right?

That sounds like its undergassed. which is the hole being dirty (most likely) or undersized

Take a pipe cleaner to the hole and remove any fouling then go to range

if that doesn't work get a small lap and widen it a bit.

Any good sources for surplus M1 Garand furniture?
I got a service grade from the cmp but it came with a new stock and it just doesn't look right on an April 1942 reciever....

Can anyone recommend an adjustable gas plug that will allow me to shoot commercial 30-06 but still allow me to affix my bayonet?

>>33064795
where can I get that cheek pad ?

>>33072453
There is none, unless you get the garandgear plug and file down your bayonet lug to make it fit

Any opinions regarding a full length M1a and scout length?

>>33073681
The scout is probably better if you had any plans to scope the rifle because traditional over-receiver scope mounts on the M1A/M14 are god-awful. The Mini-14 and Mini Thirty are actually designed to take scopes back there so there's less need for a scout rail.

Haven't cleaned my M1A since i bought it a year ago. Contemplating paying a LGS employee to scrub it out. On the other hand, the temptation to pull it apart and roll around in the delicious carbon is tempting.

Good but outdated. The exposed bolt is super susceptible to getting jammed with muck and sand and other undesirable shit.
