TLDR version: New 582 series Mini-14 had numerous FTEject. Rifle sent back to Ruger April 10th.
I received the rifle back on the 9th with the note 'replaced bolt lock and test fired'. I took it out yesterday after cleaning and greasing it and had zero malfunctions of any type with the factory magazines. New Thermold 30 round mags had failures to go into battery on the first round but after a few cycles they were trouble free too.
Now to decide what optic to run in it. The scope I was going to run doesn't clear the rear sight.
