Got back to the range yesterday with my Mini 14, needed to re-sight in my RDS, the rail came loose on my last trip, and I didn't catch it until it was time to head out for the day. Got it re-sighted, and was getting what I'm finding is typical for this rifle and ammo, around 2" at 50 yards. Just for grins, I'd taken along the extra power recoil spring I'd ordered but not installed. After a few mags, I figured I'd give it a try, as it's a pretty simple swap, or so I thought. Turns out the extra power spring is not only stiffer but longer, I had to hold my mouth JUST RIGHT to get it in. But it turned out to be worth it, I don't know why, but group sizes were instantly cut in half 
! It'll never be a tack driver, but this is now pretty close to being on par with what my first budget PSA AR could do, and that's more than good enough for my purposes. It's also showing a definite preference for 62 vs. 55 gr. bullets, and I had some reloads along that show some definite promise. Only problem, now it's starting to show enough accuracy to warrant a scope, at least for ammo testing . It never ends, does it ? Later.
