You let your rifle grow up to be a whore! What self respecting M-14 variant would let that filthy 762x39 inside of her!?! For shame sir, FOR SHAME!!

Just kidding of course, I didn't even know they made the M305 in 762x39. I guess you learn something every day.

now we just need a range report .........

I actually shot 250rds straight with 30rd factory mag, not a single malfunction, less recoil compare to 308, love it.

Got my M305A in the mail today, cleaned the grease off and run a couple of boxes of Norinco non corrosive through it. No problems of any kind, flawless function and lots of fun!

Nice wood stock, any idea where I can find one of these?

Looks nice. Might need to add one to the collection.
Do these rifles have a proper barrel for 7.62x39? There has been some speculation that it is just a .308 barrel with a chamber insert.

Thanks guys. I received my M305A a couple of days ago well packed in 'boil in the bag' plastic, full of healthy eastern oils. I disassembled, cleaned, replaced the shipping oil and added a good quality grease to the relevant parts; and spent most of yesterday feeding her a varied diet of brass and steel cased ammo. While Norinco rough, it performed without issue and is shockingly accurate, IF you have realistic expectations. Heavy rifle plus an intermediate cartridge equals plenty of comfortable shooting. The AK mags are really heavy, so I'm very grateful that as Canadian shooters we don't have to fill them full of ammo as this would make them even heavier and inconvenient to carry...

Also curious about the bore of the barrel. Curious too about what parts are interchangeable with the M305/M14/M1A? Obviously the stock is, but what else?

How much of a pita is it to clean after corrosive? Any little areas that you are worried about that are hard to get to?

 

[chicu1981]

So how does it compare with SKS?

 

[CaseyK]

Gonna wait out for the type 81..

Though not difficult to do the M305A is far more complicated than an SKS to take down and clean. The bolt, trigger group and muzzle assembly, even the rear sight assembly are more complex than an SKS. I personally would NOT shoot corrosive ammo unless I had no choice and a fair amount of time after to clean it. There are plenty of nooks, crannies, and closely fitting parts where corrosive salts could collect. That being said, time and
convenience is relative and one person's PITA is another person's hobby. As always the solution is to buy both....and a Type 81.
