Having bought an M305 about six weeks ago, I'm starting now to replace some the Chinese parts with better made ones to see if I can enhance the rifles accuracy.

I've bought a Superior Shooting Spring kit from Brownells, but they won't ship the Sadlak Spring Guide that I ordered to me in New Zealand. No doubt most retailers won't ship M14 parts out of the US due to DDTC controls.

So, I'm looking at alternatives.

I see Marstar lists a Match Grade Stainless Spring Guide - how do these compare functionally to Sadlak, Badger, etc?

I'm going to replace the almost black wood stock with a Boyds Walnut example in the coming weeks too.
 
Marstar's version is ONE piece (not welded 2 piece) like other older and similarly priced op rod spring guides. The Badger, Sadlak and SMith Ent versions are all good, but more expensive by the time you bend over and (BOHICA) pay the UPS brokerage fees, exchange, GST, PST, HST, corruption charges, etc.

Buy directly from Marstar or Rauch Tactical or Tartan Tactical (robmacleod82)... all of the 3 I have reviewed, played with and shot with. All 3 of them are good. Only $ 40 plus shipping and taxes. Made in Kanada, I must add. :D

Cheers,
Barney
 
Also to note, US made NM oprod spring guides(Badger, Sadlak, etc) are larger in diameter for use only with US springs. Marstar, Tartan, other Canadian made ones are slightly smaller in diameter to work with both US and Chinese springs.
