Adding Samson Rail And ASI Adjustable Gas Block

Hello Everyone.

I recently decided to add a samson rail to my mini 14. I also have a Accuracy System Gen 4 Adjustable Gas Block.

I am wondering what screws people used to attach the bottom of the adjustable gas block to the samson rail. Since I am not using the Gen 4 top of the gas block, can I use the factory screws to secure the rail and gas block together. Or should I use the longer screws that came with the adjustable gas block.

I have been reading through some posts where some people have added both of these parts to their rifle but have not noticed this mentioned anywhere.

Another Peening Post

Hello Everyone,

So all of the posts about peening has had me keep an eye on the bolt of my mini 14. After about 160 rounds I have noticed some minor peening at the bottom of the bolt.

I wanted to get others insights on if this looks about normal. My understanding is that most Mini 14s will have some minor peening for the initial 100 - 300 shots. This light peening normally stops after the rifle has been broken in and can be "repaired" with some light filing.

I admittedly may be a bit paranoid about the issue and wanted to get other owners insights.

Scope and Accuracy System Adjustable Gas Block

I wanted to know if anybody with the accuracy system adjustable gas block, had tried mounting a scope above the receiver on their mini 14. I’ve been wanting to do this, but someone had mentioned that the gas block can change the trajectory of the ejecting shells. So I wasn’t sure if that might cause an issue with having a scope there.
