[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2127136, member: 12170"] I always enjoy a good back and forth banter as it typically increases my knowledge on a subject. American Rifleman [url]http://www.americanrifleman.org/ArticlePage.aspx?id=1572&cid=4[/url] "The Minis barrel is threaded into the receivera seemingly unconventional method of attachment in modern military-style rifles. [B]Its short-stroke gas system uses a fixed piston mounted to the bottom half of a split gas block clamped around the barrel with four Allen-head machine screws[/B]. When the operating slide is at rest and the bolt in battery, a cylindrical cavity in the front face of the slides forward section encloses the piston. During firing, powder gases pass through a port in the barrel before entering the piston and expanding into the cylinder, driving the operating slide rearward. Unburned powder particles vent along a steel liner in the stocks fore-end. Partly because the Minis gas system is self-cleaning, it has a reputation for running reliably even with minimal maintenance." Brownells [url]http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=12840/GunTechdetail/Upgrading-the-Ruger-Mini-14-The-Brownells-Way-[/url] "It has an investment cast heat-treated receiver and a Garand breech bolt locking system with a short-stroke fixed-piston gas system." Both websites have people much smarter than myself and both refer to the Mini 14 as having a short stroke piston gas system. [/QUOTE]
