Possible M305 Issues?? Need Help

[gnmontey]

So I had to remove around 1/4 inch of material from where the rear of the trigger group seats, and some material around the top of the wood where the receiver sits on top of.

A 1/4" of material? That's a lot? Was this a USGI stock or an after market blank?

USGI. Maybe it was less than that but it was a decent amount.

I have never fired it or tried it when I put the USGI stock on. M14medic finished my M1a build from Wolverine with the parts kit and never really looked at this rifle again. I got rid of the Chinese stock to a guy that needed one because he got a bummed one from the factory.

Ah, well that explains it. It's a stock fit issue. The M14/M305 needs to be fit to the stock so that it passes the function test.
I've had to do this with every wooden stock I purchased for an M305

I'll just stick this link from the stickies here for other people to reference:

A little late now, but the easiest way to determine if the problem is caused by the stock is to assemble the trigger group and receiver outside the stock for testing.

I guess that there is something here I do not understand, Why is someone cycling the action of a M14 with the trigger pulled, and expecting the hammer to stay cocked???

Try cycling the action with your finger off the trigger!!!!

It's a design feature in ANY semi auto rifle/pistol/shotgun, it's called a disconnector, fairly important feature to keep you and other people from getting killed.

It's what happens when the rifle is actually fired and the action cycles. The mechanism has to be able to hold the hammer back at that moment because your finger would still be depressing the trigger
