The nearest is the Norc M305 shorty from this thread http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1175926-Unboxing-amp-Inspecting-a-2014-Norinco-M305-Shorty with the following modifications:
- gas lock front sight
- replaced the flash hider with a spare one I'd been messing around on the grinder with
- shimmed tight
I'm still on the fence about replacing the crooked op-rod; it works just fine, but it kinda bugs me to just leave it like that.
The two wood-stocked ones are Norc M305 Italian wood shorties with PB rear sights, SAI Scout front sights, Sadlak op-rod spring guides, USGI op-rod springs, and USGI firing pins. I used pure tung oil to refinish the far one, and a combination of pure tung oil and Tried & True Varnish Oil for the near one
The scoped one on the end is from this thread http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1091420-quot-That-ll-do-pig-that-ll-do-quot?p=10702110&viewfull=1#post10702110
The one in the middle is my son's rifle that we built together over Christmas from a stripped and timed Norinco M14S 22" barrelled action. Right now it's sitting in a plastic Norc stock because he's saving up to buy himself a Blackfeather. Here's the parts list:
- USGI flash hider
- Norc castle nut
- SAI front sight
- SAI gas cylinder, valve, and ferule
- Norc gas lock
- Sadlak gas piston
- Norc op-rod
- SAI op-rod guide
- Sadlak op-rod spring guide
- Wolff op-rod spring
- Norc bolt release
- SAI trigger group (stripped)
- USGI trigger group internals
- USGI rear sight
- SAI stripper clip guide
- Norc bolt (stripped) lapped in at 1.636"
- USGI bolt internals
Cheers

Someday Ill own a Garand.
Someday...

The latest ladies.
Great looking builds! How well do they shoot? Do you get them all out at the same time?
I think we have a bit of unreasonable bias here. The Mosin is one of the toughest rifles ever built and almost indestructible. Likewise the SKS and AK47's. All guns have the occasional problem, not just eastern ones.
I know a number of people with chinese M14's who are happy with them. Would I rather have a springfield, absolutely, but they are very expensive and outside the price range for a lot of people.

Yes, even the wood is H&R. The barrel is dated July 1954, but the serial number range places the receiver in the first batch of Garands that H&R delivered during the Korean war.
