Would a m1a hammer be a drop in replacement for a norinco m305?. Im no expert but the hammer in my gun appears to be soft/worn where it contacts the bolt. Only found that out after it burst fired on me. I got it working like it should again, now that i removed material in the stock, but i feel i cant trust this thing now

Did this happen after you replaced the factory stock for wood or other stock?
An M1A hammer would be a drop in unit, BUT would need to be fitted correctly.
If adjusting stock fit solved the problem, I would leave the hammer alone despite the wear you might be seeing.
The hammer/bolt interface is a high friction location so a certain amount of hammmer wear should be evident.
However , if the bolt is "carving' the hammer and causing raised edges or burrs in the contact surface.... I do recommend a hammer replacement.

I took it apart and cleaned it when i first got it but other than that nothing. happened on my first outing with it.
ill try to get a decent pic
no carving on the bolt or anything. so im good to go?

A hammer from a M1 Garand will work also.
