Hey guys, so I just bought an M305 Short Rifle from CanAm and should have it here early next week. I am looking to do a few mod's before the spring, nothing too serious. I had my eye on the operating rod guide from M14 Doctor and a good quality operating spring to go with it. I do have two questions about the two other mods I wish to do.
1. I am looking for a black synthetic stock eventually to replace the Norinco one. Ideally I want to find a matching stock and handguard of good quality, much like the black composite one Springfield offers however I don't need the rail on the handguard. I just want it to be solid good quality with good texture and fit well on the M305 Short Rifle. I know that last part may be a problem however, is there a stock like this that will fit well on the new Norinco M305 Short Rifle without needing alot of custom filing/sanding and fitting? Ballpark how much am I looking at spending for the stock and handguard and where can I get one in Canada?
2. I may want to also upgrade the front and rear sight. I have heard that the M-1 Garand sights work well, I have also heard mention of National Match front posts. I am going to try the factory ones first to see if they work but if not what are my options for some good quality brand new M14/M1 type sights.
I basically want to make a M1A Scout Squad without the rail hand guard. I just want to have a better quality stock and sights and upgrade the operating rod/spring. Thanks for your time, Max-4
