M305 & SKS deal....

Thanks for the tip. I called them and they told me to sit tight and wait for the shipment to arrive.

They said something about the transfer being processed. DOes anyone know anything about that?
 
I'm so in if you'll honour the deal for the M305 I got back in late June first of July

It was order #695 I pre-ordered it.

I could use another SKS I love the first one I bought from Marstar... It was my first rifle :D Well actually I bought two but sold one to my friend!

Not certain I understand your question, but since all firearms must be registered we have to wait for transfer approval before sending off your rifle....

"John, any chance of a discount for packs of 3 or 5 Type 56's? "

They are already at $75. with a case of ammo.... How much lower can we go ?

Are you asking about combo deals or just the rifles ??

All we need is the invoice number or approximate date of purchase and YES you can buy the SKS for $75.oo

John
 
Can you confirm if the chamber is chromed as well? I'm assuming the firing pin is free floating and will need to be upgraded.

Thanks in advance,

I'm looking to buy 3 (possibly 5) SKS's a month from now - any chance of a bulk discount to buy multiples?

I have 6 cases of ammo already, I don't need any more, just more guns to shoot that ammo from.

I think there is a bit of an appetite for a bulk purchase. I might be down for 5 or 10 at a time (great gift for new shooters and got enough guys here that would take an extra).

There isn't any reason to 'upgrade' the firing pin.
Ask any one on here, the stock 'free floating' firing pin works, and is safe.
Unless money is burning a hole in your pocket, but in that case I suggest a second sks, not a upgraded firing pin.
 
Sorry to barge in on you, guys... as for the chromed chamber ...are you talking about the M305 or SKS?

And can somebody post pictures of SKS's bought from marstar?

thanks

I've heard that the free floating firing pin can cause slam fires, and that it's a good idea to replace it with the spring firing pin. They run for $37 with shipping to Canada from here: http://www.murraysguns.com/sksown.htm
I just thought for $37 it would be a little safer. I'm also thinking to replace the original springs with the Wolf spring kit to improve the trigger pull on it a little bit too. Any thought's on the Wolf spring kits?

I was asking about the SKS's. I would think the M305 would have the chamber and bore chromed as well.
 
I've never seen an sks slam fire. Clean the firing pin channel and it won't.
Just trying to save you some money.
 
Yah, I guess it's probably not a big concern if you keep it clean. For $75, you can sure buy a lot of Simple Green.

Does anyone have any pics or info on Marstar's new shipment of M305's? What's the headspace like? Is it stamped .308WIN or 7.62mm x 51mm? Are they screened for obvious flaws before shipment like poorly indexed barrels and the like?

I don't really mail order too much. I usually try to walk-in so I know what I'm getting, but this is a deal you don't come across too often. If anybody has purchased the M305 from the new shipment and could chime in on quality, it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I think when John puts these deals out there he should throw in a free safe to give us a little extra room to take advantage of it properly.
 
Hey Jman
I bought one. I love it, I am extreamly picky about quality and for the price it is worth the money. I had originaly bought a poly tech M14 from an differnt online supplier(I wont say who unless asked) and found there to be scratches on the reciever and barrel. I had to speak to three difernt people before I was told that it was common with "chinese guns". Anyways after much arguments and pictures and frustration i was out shipping but they took it back. Marstar has a great warranty and they will cover shipping if there is something wrong with it. Oh yeah af for head space I am not sure. But it is stamped .308 and works like a dream I wish I had more. I am going to get the sks just because it's 75 bucks! but I am not familiar with these types of rifles. but I figure it will be fun to learn abit about it.
I apologize for the long reply.

You are 10000% right.
Lets face the SKS was designed to use military ammunition, the primers are a little harder than their commercial counterpart....
The military was not concerned about reloads....

The SKS will slam fire if, as you note, the firing pin channel is full of hardened grease or if one uses relaods with very soft primers like Remington....

Slam firing can happen with almost any SA firearm due to dirt, grease, or part damage
