m-305's serial #'s

The rifles with the left side of the reciever machined off should start with a ser# of AL.... Those were made up for Alan Lever. Look very closely at those receivers and tell me if you see anything interesting about them.
As for the ser # range, the Chinese will stamp whaterver you tell them to on a gun. I don't think they actually keep records of what they have done and I'm pretty sure the feds have no idea what so ever!!!

you mean aside from the dismount notch and the fact that the f/a components are missing but you can see where the grinder was applied to remove the lug- my "al" is under 300?
 
if y'all take a gander at the trigger group, it's true ancestory is revealed- damned pity about the scope hump, though- i've often wondered if you couldn't put back the metal removed with something like cold weld and then formed like what we normally do to fill the selector hole in the usgi stock
 
Noticed that as well. By the time I got the AL version I have some dope had machined off all of the rear sight components including the sight holes on both sides of the reciever, more or less making it a flat top reciever. They had also hacksawed the barrel just behind the flashider, then....soft soldered a hunting front sight to the barrel then drilled two holes into the rear left side of the reciever and fitted a williams peep sight. We fitted it with a new barrel and used the flat top of the rear reciever and mounted a scope base to that part and the reciever ring. I've always thought the hardest part of putting a scope on an M-14 was the height to get over the rear sight, no problem here. Scope sits nice and low and once re finish bedding it we'll see how it shoots then!!!

one of ADVANTAGES OF BEING THE ORIGINAL OWNER- I got around the problem by using the OLD B-SQUARE reciver scope mount which doesn't use the vertical and horizontal bars to mate with the slots in the m14chinese receiver, but screws into the big hole and uses allen set screws to mate with the top of the receiver- WITH THE SET SCREWS YOU CAN COMPENSATE for the gap IN THE RECEIVER- with the set screws fully retacted, she'll tilt fore and aft , and probably tilt sideways to follow the line of that grind, but with the set screws engaged, it becomes a rock solid mount, or at least as good as an ALUMINUM one hole MOUNT CAN BE
