M305 re barrel has this been done ?

[Bakersfield7.62]

Hey there m14 gurus has anyone done a norinco m305 re barrel ? From all of my readings here it seems that Evan the worst norinco could be fixed with a new barrel to get proper head space and straight splines ex. I know this would not make it shoot sub MOA or anything ... What would it cost " just curious " to have a crition barrel put on and have the bolt laped ?

I think you could get it done for about $150 if I'm not mistaken.
I'm pretty sure that's what Nick at Vulcan charges but I might be wrong.

 

[SUB MOA]

I've got a Gaillard Medium Contour Stainless barrel with a custom gas system and scope mount installed by a smith in Calgary. Still working up loads but promising.

I think you misread.

I've been dreaming of a better barrel for awhile now, but it's just not at the top of my shopping list....yet.
Have fun Bakersfield!

Have there been norincos that come out so wonkey that a new barrel would be the only way to make it right ?I would not change a barrel unless there was a good reason to , say it was shot out , head space so bad that it can't be fixed or if the gas system splines were cut way out to lunch so the operating system was all crooked , the fix would be a new barrel ???? I know most would take the cheap rout and just buy a new gun and have a parts gun

sigh.....even though you said it wouldnt be sub MOA there always has to be some dork......



BTW plenty of sub moa m14s on m14forum.com smart a$$

Depends on the barrel. A Krieger heavy was 500 or so with install if memory serves.

Other make barrels are cheaper in cost.

You obviously have not read the sticky's about doing exactly what your asking about. See Scullboy's posts...
