We are proud to announced that the Norinco M305A in 7.62x39mm has arrived in Canada!!!

MSRP$856.79. SKU: M14-76239. Comes with two 5/30 magazine. Rife is non-restricted.

Somebody do a 100 yard comparison with the longer sight radius and we can put to bed the question of "is it the cartridge" or the short AK/SKS sight.
I want to like it but a cheaper SKS will do the same thing. Kudo's for someone bringing this into Canada. Just not my cup of tea.

I wouldn't buy anything but an sks in 7.62x39-this is an exercise in futility- something like having a real rifle chambered for the mouse gun cartridge- that's what's next

If you can run M14.ca stuff on it then I would say it's not futile. Dressed up it would look a lot nicer than a dressed up sks

I guess first question: Mag type and availability.
Second question: What is the weight
Third question: Is it the same footprint as the .308 M-305, or is it a shorter action

It looks really interesting and my first instinct says, "I want one," But it we are looking at uber expensive or hard to find mags, with a rifle that weighs the same as the .308 I'm not seeing a huge advantage other than cheaper ammo, and if you're buying non-corrosive or hunting ammo the savings disappear pretty quick.

these look really nice and interesting,but the price is out of the ball park for what it is,

Would be great with a folding stock and pistol grip configuration at this price point.

Any word on the mag type?

Are they chrome lined barrels?

Are they chrome lined barrels?

Nice.

For that price I'd buy a used American made mini30 or add a few bucks and but a new one .
