Ebr or blackfeather rs?

I can't say anything on the BlackFeather. But I do own an EBR. It requires work to have an M305 fit properly in the stock. It was such a bad fit, that it actually bent my trigger guard because the receiver sat way higher than with the original stock. As well, the EBR chassis was machined exactly the same on both sides, inside the chassis. Which sucks because the retaining pin holding the recoil spring in place, walks out on its own. So you go to release the magazine and your spring flies into the magazine well and its a ##### to get it back in place without taking the whole gun apart. That's the other drawback with the chassis. When you want to take it apart, you have to take the whole rifle apart, because the OpRod guide bolts to the chassis, so its not just simply pulling the trigger and removing the receiver. And lastly, its heavy as hell. Makes it a ##### to try shoot off hand. As well, if you're going to mount a scope to it, go with an A.R.M.S. #18 style scope mount. This way when you do have to take the rifle apart, at least the scope is staying on the receiver. With other styles of mounts, half the mount attaches to the forearm of the stock. SO if you want to do anything to it, you have to remove the scope first. Overall though, its a beautiful looking stock. It's just a matter of how much you're willing to give up for looks. I'm personally changing my stock. I'm going with a BlackFeather Stock with Magpul PRS buttstock. I had to machine out quite a bit from my EBR Stock for the rifle to fit properly in it. I figured out what was wrong with it when I did a function check. The trigger wouldn't lock back when the action was cycled. So I had to machine out some parts on the top of the chassis and some in the trigger area. If you want pics of what I mean I can send you some. Final decision will be entirely up to you.

Did you figure out a fix for the retaining pin? I was at the range for the first time with my EBR and the same thing happened to me... spoiled my day pretty fast. I was thinking of fillin g the slot on the stock with material so the pin can't slide out.

Don't fill the slot. Do the job properly and change the Norc pin out with a correct length USGI pin. Problem solved.
I had to do the same thing for my JAE chassis. (they ship one with the unit for all Norc buyers) Took all of 15 minutes.

Where can one buy this pin?
 
I just ordered from Treeline.com in the US for $5... they processed it with shipping the total was $25, but they adjusted it to be all in for $15... they've done this sort of thing for me before without even asking... good to deal with. I couldn't find them on the Wolverine website

Hmm.. I could of swore I seen them on there a few days ago while browsing a few days ago. Well doesn't really matter now they are pretty easy to install (I did mine myself). You will most likely have to sand it down a bit as the usgi connector lock is a tad thicker than the norc connector lock and won't fit in the norc reciever.

Which stock for the m305 is better?
Fitment
Styling
Accuracy?
Which stock feels the best to hold?
The blackfeather is canadian but I like the look of the EBR.
Throw me a bone here.
I plan on buying a m305 or socom. But they need an upgrade.

All I can offer is info on where to get the Sage EBR. Bashaw Sports in Alberta is a Sage dealer (approx. 6 months delivery time). I was considering the EBR chassis for my M305 but couldn't justify the cost for a rifle that doesn't shoot better than 2moa. I got a nice wooden stock & handguard from Boyd's for under $200 and left it as it should be... An iron sight battle rifle.

But knock yourself out. Post some pics of whatever you build, because it will be ###y regardless of how innacurate it may be;)

If you want a truly awesome setup, and you're willing to drop a grand on the stock, do yourself a favour and start off with a LRB National Match M14.
 
For a replacement retaining pin in a sage I was recommended to use a drill bit that fits the hole. Then cut the bit to the right length. Works great.

I have a blackfeather RS and it works great with my M305 18.5".
Made in Canada, easy to install, light and durable.
I average under 2 MOA with Chinese ammo.
cheers
