"Made in China for Marstar 'GI Rifle' in a Synthetic Stock"

[Odd Shot]

Are these just like the regular "Norinco" M305's? Why the change in name?
Just curious.

Thanks.

Site says "M305B". Looks like one to me.

The price went up a little, so you get a little more. A B should about cover it.

Yes these are the same rifle
They are Chinese made exported by Polytech

A little? 11% decrease in the Canadian Dollar yields a 39.6% in price jump. If gas suddenly jumped 51 cents at the pump, I don't think anyone would characterize that as the "price went up a little" (just saying, LOL!)

Don't buy one then. Sooner or later the dealers who jack prices too high will take a class in economics and realize they are out of equilibrium. A lot of factors are involved in pricing for these guys. Just because something is one price one year does not mean it will remain the same for life.

Oh, I know - worked enough logistics in the past decade, moving "valueless" imported freight from location-to-location. Basically, overpriced freight that was undercut by competitors, who saturated the market. Storage costs money!!!

And you're right, despite the fact I would like to own one (errr, really, really REALLY want one!!!), and the rumours of future prices going far out of range, I'll wait.

the price had been the same for almost 10 years....this large increase is on the Chinese side, no option but to raise the retail

Excellent point.
