Ok, m305 plastic stock are junk. But why???

As a very basic stock for a basic "general use" knock-about rifle, the ones they come with will be decent. One thing to know ahead of time though, is that at least mine had very sharp edges in some places where the supporting hand goes (meaning the top outer edge of the stock where it meets either the receiver, the top guard, or the cocking handle/action bar). I just used a good file and smoothed it all out. And it's served me well enough for now.
Thing is, I've discovered I really like wood stocks, and so I got a USGI wood, then a Boyds wood, and followed it all with a USGI fibreglass.
The Norc polymer stock isn't any bulkier than a M1A or M-14 wood stock. Grip on the USGI 'glass is a little thinner, but not by all that much.

Here is a thread with photos of weight comparisons of various M14 stocks. Here is a photo comparison of the forearm thicknesses. The Chinese stock can be modified in several ways as has been shown several times on this forum. With the addition of picatinny rails, pistol grip adapters, folding adapters, etc., it becomes an inexpensive platform stock to modify and experiment with... .

I have no idea how common this is, but I saw a used M305 for sale in a gun store and the little cup of plastic in the bottom of the grip was missing.
It might be proactive to drip some JB weld into that area to prevent yours from falling out.

What you didn't like the white stuff (Un-know to mankind) sprinkled all over your stock???
