There seems to be 2 variations...
Powerwagons has the stripper clip guide, plunger ejector, standard bolt hold open that doesn't do anything, and different stock liner.

Updated Flash Supressor

Note that the M305A will NOT accept aftermarket stocks that do not re-use the factory stock liner due to the aforementioned change to the liner itself, stocks like the Archangel will not lock the front of the AK mag in place.

dude..... remember your first m305 LOL before that clinic we met at?
think of that rifle.... ponder this new abortion in x39..... and walk away laughing at the people who will absolutely waste hard earned money it.
BTW , i see a former dealer here is claiming they are the actual importer and the price seems 100 or so less? or i'm missing something.
Still, it's a rifle i would pay 399. for if i was so inclined and certainly not a penny more.

Oh you mean the m305 that probably didn't need a wrench to take off the barrel? Yeah I still have it, gloriously mic'd in at 1.641

I just got one on EE, and to be honest the only things I hate are the FACTORY magazines, they hold 3 rounds and won't load more, there's a metal strip inside, and the bolt hold open doesn't hold the bolt
