![]() People are drawn to it's looks and blown away by how quiet it is shooting subsonic loads. However, now that it is sorted I absolutely love the Mini Fix. I was quite frustrated initially with my purchase. I have now fired around 300 rounds with zero issues. After sizing a more reasonable 3 thousandths, all of the CCI primed cases fired. The quick change plate was a recent change to my press ( a couple months after sending my rifle back to Q) and the initial brass when I received the rifle was sized appropriately. I had inadvertently bumped the shoulder back around 14 thousandths (due to the quick change plate being thicker and not adjusting my dies to compensate) on the CCI450 primed cases that did not fire. With the help of a friend, I traced the remaining CCI450s that would not fire to a recent batch of brass I had sized improperly after installing a new quick change plate on my Co-Ax press. Upon receipt, all FGMM and most CCI450s would now fire. It took a little longer than I would have liked, received my Mini Fix after a couple months. I sent an email, had a prompt reply, sent it out with a return label provided by Q. Federal GMM primers fired fine but no go on any CCI450s. I had problems with light primer strikes on my Q Mini Fix purchased 12/2021. I'll head to the range soon and see if that fixes anything. It definitely sounds like its hitting a little harder and bolt lift feels slightly heavier. I just shimmed the firing pin spring with a washer that still keeps the spring in the retainer on the back side of the bolt assembly. Striker protrusion measures 32 thou from bottom of bolt face. So its definitely looser than most chambers but still "within spec" I get 7 thou over a go gauge and almost full close on a no go gauge. Problem is I have half my new brass I cant get to fire to form! once the fire formed brass is bumped back 1.5 thou it seems to fire fine. On hand loads I get FTF about 60% of the time. Switched to proof 6 creed and FTF with berger loaded ammo and hand loads. Buddies identical rifle fired fine with the factory 6.5 barrel. Sometimes it fires if the firing pin hits twice. then swapped to a proof 6 creed barrel and got FTF. I've got a full sized fix that fired fine with the factory 308 barrel. ![]()
