Norinco M305 disassembly question

[usagi308]

Good Day,

I picked up a slightly used norinco today and when I got home I went to disassemble it so that I could check it over... I go through the procedure of cocking the action, engaging the safety and then lifting up the rear of the trigger guard to disengage the action but it refuses to come out. Am I missing a step? Or is this a common occurence with the Norinco wood stocks jamming things in place?

Make sure the hammer is cocked back . Wont come out otherwise. Op rod forward.

Thanks, actually had to give it a bit of torque to get it out, not something I normall like to do

Put a tool, screwdriver or punch into the hole on the back of the trigger guard, pry slightly backwards and the rear of the guard will unlatch, them up!

Hammer has to be cocked back ? mine still come out cocked or not

........

if you ever look at the trigger group, you'll notice that if your hammer is uncocked, bringing the triggerguard down will be fighting it against the hammer and therefore hammer spring.

As such, if you didn't #### the hammer first by pulling back the oprod, you'll still effectively #### it when you pull the trigger guard to the vertical position.

Back to the original issue...it is possible that the woodstock is a little swollen and holds the trigger group tightly.

i was always curious about that ( what a noob eh ? )

Looking at the stock once I got the trigger group out there seems to be fairly rough inside. Not that I am going to worry to much, my first purchase is going to be a USGI fibreglass stock as I think the wood one is too damn thick and heavy... might hang onto it till the snow flies and use it as a winter project to see if I can slim it down some

you might find that the USGI stock equals in weight to the wood, all mine have been heavier. but as for thick, yes the wood stocks are quite

As Fenix already mentioned, the USGI stocks are going to be heavier even in standard contour (both FG and wood) than the Chuwood ones.

The Chuwood does however have a nice contour (pseudo NM fat....only that it is often softer than butter). Some of the supplied wood stocks are harder than others...and depending on how your refinish.

A tight trigger-group may be a b!tch to get out, however, tight is good, especially when also tight as you clamp down the trigger guard.

Having said that, get a USGI fiberglass stock.... check out the EE forums, they come up quite often I believe.
