Does anyone have any photos of how the 5.56 and 7.62 PMAGs and drums are being pinned? As in, are these being pinned on the side or on the spine, how does the countersink look, etc?

IRunGuns does the best pinning jobs I have seen. I'd just order it and find out. If they screw up (they won't) use a file to clean it up.
 
I don’t know if you are aware that even to possess unpinned mags is an offence under the criminal code of canada. Businesses are not allowed to sell unless pinned. If you purchased unpinned it is an offence. I’m just passing on some info trying to be helpful
so you don’t get in hot water. Cheers

He could be getting a buddy in the US to pin and ship some for him and wants to send instructions.
 
Hopefully he reads this, Mr. Clean who oversees our Compliance Dept, does a fabulous job when he wears his glasses. Pinning drums properly is an art in itsself.

Hats off to him.

I was thinking about placing an order with IRUNGUNS for some magazines, but I've never ordered anything from them before, and can't see the mags in person.

So I was mostly trying to find out in a tactful way wether they're nicely done, or if they're terrible at using tools and mangle the hell out of the mag body or not. Also, I'm not a real big fan of side pinning, just personal preference.

I'm sure they're fantastic people and do a great job, I just prefer to know exactly what I'm buying before I buy. It's not meant to be an accusation or insinuation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You won’t be disappointed. They did a bunch of m1a, Ar and pistol mags for me over the years... highly trusted as always.
 
I read online that the quality, fitting, feeding, extracting, bolt breaking, and other issues with the Norinco M305(M14) are all current problematic issues and that the quality and accuracy of the above rifle is no longer like the same version that was produced back in 2007.

If that really is true and I still want to grab a M305, what type of test would I need to put the rifle through to see if there are in fact issues with the unit I have?

How many rounds would I need to shoot with the rifle to come to a conclusion that the unit I have is sound and reliable? Would I need to conduct rapid fire(5 rd burst) to force an issue? Or to shoot off a 100 rounds while benched to see if the rounds are all landing within a general area, 4-6 inch group? How many rounds do I need to put through the rifle in order to determine if there are in fact issues with feeding, extracting, bolt issues?

I would appreciate it greatly if you can provide some shooting wisdom for I have little to none on these issues.

I believe that you found the wrong thread to post in.

As long as it's a legal magazine and you go through the correct legal channels it's completely legal for import. I just did a set recently. No need to spread more paranoia than already exists.

Well you mean except for the illegal export thing, yeah sure

Why? He is actually following the law to an extent much further than a simple rivet.

You cannot import or have in your possession a non pinned mag that law say it need to be limited.
No canadian - individual - can do it unless it is done outside Canada. So the poster admit breaking the law by having unpinned mag in his possession.
Repairing a broken rivet on a mag, so it stay pinned is not illegal..for him to say what he was doing..

My understanding, is that dealers like Irunguns get it done in the US before getting the mags imported...
