Hey guys,

I am considering getting a norinco m305 sometime this year and I have a few questions before I buy it. I have done a bunch of research and got a look at it first hand and here is what I have come up with.

I don't like the furniture, it feels cheap and where can I get a wood stock?

Also will it accept m1 box clips? I know its not an m1 but the Americans sold norinco the tools to make an exact m14.

I may have a few more questions but I cannot remember them at this moment.
 
If you just want a GI stock you can often find them on the EE or from someplace like treelinem14. Boyds also has some excellent wooden stocks. More exotic furniture is also readily available.

If you mean M1A magazines then yes. It will take any USGI-compliant box magazines.

Maybe try reading the stickies at the top of the forum (research) they'll answer most of your questions.
 
The US sold nothing to norinco. China did it all on their own. Though u.s. "Expert" is reported to have been hired at some point by china to refine their technique.

But the M14 tooling used by norinco/polytech was not bought from the US.
I get a chuckle out of that very common misconception,

M1 rifle (majority in 30-06) takes top loaded 8 round "clips" (enblocs)
M14/M1A/M305/m14s (.308) take detacheable box "magazines"
A small assortment of M1 parts are compatable with an M14, sights, some trigger parts ect but otherwise, two different rifles. Think of them as father and son , but the son is waaayyyyy cooler hehehe
There's my post for the day ;)
Everyone be nice to the new guy
