I guess one and all can make their own decisions, but I bought a M305 off Marstar in the early 2000s. The full sized one, that I compared side by side with a friend's Springfield M14(you know, the one with the selector switch) and it was identical, other than the cutout in the stock for the selector switch. It came with a scope and mounts, a bi pod, 6 mags and a hard case. It has been a flawless rifle, other than the scope. I returned the scope and Marstar replaced it with no questions asked. I have bought a number of Norinco handguns off Marstar, 2 .45 ACPs and a T33, as well as cases of ammunition and other accessories. I have also bought a restricted VZ58 with a number of accessories from Marstar. I have had no issues with this company. Maybe others have? But I have not.
