Hey anybody have any info on the Buttplate on the M-305... it swings out and up and stops just past 90 degrees. What is the funciton of this feature and is this typical of these rifles?
Thanx for any info.:cool:

I have seen a few stop at 90 degrees, and some to maybe 100 or 110 degrees..............depends on the condition of the butt plate.

Most of the ones I have owned/seen stop just past 90 degrees.

I found having the buttplate swung up helped in the offhand position............

SKBY.
 
the chinese buttplates seem beefier, but they function and fit the same as a new condition usgi buttplate. With slight modification to the stock the chinese buttplate assembly fits right on to any usgi stock i have mated them with. a minor releif must be made under the "hatch" and you have to make up a bolt and nut to replace the top buttplate screw.
 
the Norinco M14/305 in .308 Winchester, no problem using them for hunting?:confused: ive heard you can and that you cant.:p


and...how are they for accuracy, and function? i really dig the look of them, even just to buy to have one.

It's a semi auto, non restricted rifle. Hunt away...

But get the head spaces checked out. Most of the Norinco M-14s say .308 on them but the gauges will say it's no go for .308 but a go for 7.62x51
 
there are tonnes of guys on this site hunting with thier norc m14s rifles. Mine is being built right now for that exact purpose. I will use it to hunt deer, moose, elk, and black bear.
 
When hunting with a scoped M305, I have come to the conclusion that a 3 point sling is pretty much a necessity. It's because the effing thing is heavy.

It's a lucky coincidence that the fold down buttplate helps hold the stock part of the 3 point in place. It's some weird, karma thing where a old school design and new school accessories mesh perfectly.

As an aside, I took a bull moose with my M305 this year.

back in the day, it was common to use the m60 sling and rig it fore and aft , just like the 60- just above the hips- my folder has the sling swivels on the side for the same reason- however if you want to rig the sling to assist your shooting, that's a different story

+1 Very heavy for hunting.

It's an awesome rifle. No regreats...
 
I'm torn between the Norinco and a BAR light stalker. The BAR is obviously lighter and to tell you the truth, it's the sober choice. Afaik it's at least as accurate as the m14s
 
ive been PM'd a whack of info. very appreciated. my biggest concern is that i wanted this as a fun gun, and want to buy it as a 308, not as a possible oooops i have a 7.62x51 now:p

maybe just man up and buy dies just in case:D

cant wait to see whats under the tree at x-mas, so i can finally go blow cash im been waiting on:eek:
