Anyone have a suggestion on how to stop my mini-14 from jamming up with the scope mount on?  About once every magazine, the ejecting shell will catch on the scope causing it to jam.

Thanks for the info.  Mine is a 182 series.  Shoots great without the scope mount.  I've just started making handloads for this gun and thought putting a scope on it would be really nice.

Maybe I'll replace the stock with one that has a foward pictanny rail and mount a long eye relief scope on it.
