Hello:

I have never had a mini-14 fail-to-feed before - but it has happened three times with my new 580-series tactical mini-14. The mini-14 has always had a reputation as being dead reliable. What could be the problem? It was a Ruger factory magazine. The case shoulder of the round that failed to feed was crushed. Any ideas?
