Took my m305 shorty I purchased from CanAm to the range today for the first time...didn't know what to expect since it's my first m305. I was more than pleasantly surprised! The rifle shot beautifully. I was able to shoot a 2" group at 50m from a sitting position using the irons with Norinco ammo. The only thing I had done to the rifle prior to shooting it was to swap out the mag release and op rod to an NEA op-rod and tactical mag-release.

I have to say I'm really impressed with this rifle. Not only does it shoot/cycle well but the fit and finish was much better than expected. The receiver has a nice dark finish to it with no excessive tooling marks. The sights lined up very nicely and the rear sight operates flawlessly. Even the safety is easy enough to engage/disengage. Under $600 for a semi-auto full powered battle rifle and 520 rounds of ammo...doesn't get any better. Thank you Canada Ammo!
 
Couldn't agree more:cool:

Except my rear sight didn't function (windage would not go to the right), so I just swapped it for a mount and put a scope on it.

Everything else about it, I couldn't be happier. Especially for the ammo/gun deal price:D

Cool, glad to hear your experience was similar. Just curious what type of mount are you using? Think I'm gonna go the scope route myself but haven't decided on a mount yet.

I went with the one from m.14.ca. I guess it was a bit pricey for a mount but imo well worth it:cool:
 
I shot mine for the first time the other day, I was impressed as well for the most part. That being said! Let's just say I have a few component parts on order :) I was a little taken back by the rear sight falling to pieces by the 25th round being fired. Over all though, you can't go wrong for the price IMHO.
