So I got my new M305 yesterday and I took it apart and cleaned it up and put it back together and everything looked pretty good from what I read and the videos I watched.

But when I went to put the trigger group back into the stock I noticed that it only closed about 40% then got very tight and you really had to push to get it to lock in. The videos I have seen they closed it 60 or 70% before you had to push it good to lock in. After installing the trigger group I functioned the rifle and it all seemed good till I held the trigger down and cycled the action and it did not hold back the hammer like it should have. (It did do that when I functioned the trigger group before installing into the stock)

So i'm pretty sure that I cannot safely fire this gun until I fix this issue

From reading some posts in the sticky it sounds to me like the stock is probably the issue by holding in the trigger group too tight it won't let the hammer grab like it should for the second stage. Anyone else think different ? Now the question is do I need to file out some of the stock along the bottom sides where those flaps grab or file under the bottom where the trigger side rests or both ? The sticky showed some pics of filing the stock out under the back trigger side.

The sticky shows people having this issue after swapping stocks but this is how it came to me from the store all I did was take it apart and clean the oil and put it back together

What stock is it? The Norinco black plastic stock?

It's doubtful the stock geometry is wrong if it's a plastic stock, they all come from the same mould.

Hve you pulled it apart again to make sure there is no debris or plastic flashing or anything under the trigger group seating areas?

Its the camouflage stock that it came with and ya I took it apart and checked everything over multiple times and it all looks good the flash hider isn't even welded so that's a bonus the trigger group functions fine outside the stock the hammer catches no problems when you hold the trigger and push it back and the trigger pack slides into the stock fine but just the lockup seems very tight and then the trigger does not function properly. Ill play some more with it tonight when i get home from work.
 
Odd. I thought they fit the trigger to the stock properly before letting it out of the factory.
Why did it fit and function initially, but not after you took it apart and cleaned it?

Are you sure you put it back together properly? There was nothing that wasn't fully seated into the stock or otherwise getting in the way?

My guess is he did not function test it prior to initial disassembly.

Ya after taking it out of the packing and untying the two grease bags tied to the rifle it was dripping with oil, Not as bad as some pics and videos I have seen but it was still dripping that stinky packing oil everywhere so I went straight to wiping it down and disassemble.
