I picked up a used m305, thought it was a good deal. first shot, the op rod jumped the roller on the bolt making it a mag fed bolt action rifle. I played with it lined up the gas tube and op rod, it cycled properly once then the roller snapped off. Does anybody know where I can find a replacement bolt? I have searched all the CGN vendors with negative result. I don't need another boat anchor.

I hate to say it but you’re probably S*** Outta Luck
I just bought an m305 online and found all this MIM stuff after receiving the rifle but before firing it.
Mines a MIM bolt , I’ve looked at all the options and none of them are easy or cheap. You may be able to find a bolt but the chances of it working are apparently slim and you won’t know until you go to fit it.
My advice is just cut your losses and either sell it for parts or park it
By the time you spend the $ to get it up and running you could’ve just bought a better rifle to replace it.

Ah, check the date for the OP's post - pretty certain the issue has been dealt with, one way or t'other...
