what is the point to buy a Norinco M305 if all the parts are to be replaced?

That's a full auto, is it not? You are privileged then, lol.

Swapping out parts on a Norc or Poly with USGI or aftermarket stuff, such as Sadlak or Tartan, doesn't always entail going the full mile of total parts replacement. The swapping process can involve just the basics for extra accurizing, such as the spring guide and spring, and upgrading the sights. If a guy wants to fully customize his rifle, that's a personal choice and likely involves the achievement of specific ends.

I'm quite happy with a hybridized Norc and it's quite accurate for the minimal amount I invested into upgrades.

No,
Like mentioned, in Canada, as well as most of the world, the receiver is the "Gun". A 12 year old can walk into a store, buy a barrel, stock, bolt, gas assembly, everything needed, but not the receiver, as it is the firearm.

If you buy a USGI receiver in Canada, just the receiver, no barrel, no stock, no nothing, you are still in possesion of a PROHIBITED, not restricted firearm, no if and or butts. If its not registered, then thats another charge, YES they can tell the difference. All USGI M-14's are Prohibited in Canada, as in no one except the people who owned them before the ban can own them, no one else, nadda, none.

Sorry to sound redundant, trying to cover all bases.

Thanks!
if one day, after we have bought and owned some "M305"s, a gun-ban comes out and prohibit the M305,
then we still can own them, but ...can not shoot them anymore?

I think...it is close, one day, M305 is going to be prohibited, but I wish it comes as late as possible

Don't even think that way man! Just don't! No! BAD!... Bad Bad BAD!

(Man, this has got to be one of the most times I posted in a thread, I must really be bored)
 
Dukecrab - the simplest way to think of it is this: the bit that has the serial number on it is the 'gun'. That is why for example the innocent looking AR lowers are the bad 'gun' bit and the uppers are just that - uppers.
 
And I'm here to ensure that yer d!ck don't fall off! :eek:

I've only replaced the rear sights, barrel , gas cylinder ass'y , and flash suppressor on my 2007 Norc. Rest is all xhinese high school shop sourced. Works for me.... :D

Now if I could only get around to painting my USGI glass stock. :)

Nope, one does not need to swap out the parts, but many do because WE CAN! :D

Cheers,

Barney :evil:

I only plan to replace the rear sight and I already replaced the stock. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with the factory forged receiver, chrome-lined barrel and the nice, tight, well assembled trigger group. I think people get the "mod" disease and just can't stop. :)

All I can say to that is Please Barney help stop the maddness :evil:
Im GOIN broke with this playin lol
 
Buy a marstar spring guide and nylon buffer to begin with and you will be good to go. Then shoot the gun for a while, then decide what other changes you want to make. I just added the fibreglass stock and shot the gun for 10 years.

if only one part or no part is left...then why buy the gun?
why just buy all these parts and put them together?

I can not understand....

can anyone explain to me?

dukecrab, that was my build you quoted.............

That build was a specific build, and was built to be a clone of the Mark 14 Mod 0 CrazyHorse EBR that Smith Enterprises built for the U.S. Military.

I have owned box stock M305s, and built some high end M14 type rifles using a Norc receiver. I have also owned Springfield Inc. M1As, and the real deal Springfield Armory & TRW USGI M14s........

If you are looking to build up a M14 type rifle, it is cheaper to just by a M305 and base your build on the receiver.The M305 is a forged receiver and is dimensionally correct as a USGI TRW receiver (TRW parts are the holy grail to many M14 shooters....ask Hungry.....;)). Going this route I can build a National Match Spec M14 type rifle with a forged receiver using top shelf parts for about the price of the low end Springfield Inc. M1A that uses a cast receiver.

You do not have to replace anything on the Norc M305........However there are a few recommended items that should be replaced to help the rifle shoot a little more accurately and consistently.........

-Replace the Chinese wood stock
-replace the op rod spring guide with the match version
-replace the op rod spring with a USGI spring.

These three easy to do mods will make a big difference.

When you buy that $400.00 Norc M305, remember that the receiver alone is a at least a $400.00 value in itself!!!!!! In comparison, the new Holy Grail, a LRB forged reciever will run you roughly $1500.00 to $1700.00 landed at your door in Canada.........JUST for the receiver!!!!!! :D

You write this as if researching all this, buying the gun, learning how it fits together, attending a Hungry clinic, buying parts, installing them, and taking the gun out to shoot somehow isn't a heckuva lot of fun and incredibly educational...

I'd argue that you may have to replace parts or work on the rifle if you intend to feed it reloaded ammunition.

My norc shoots great, excellent accuracy, but the headspace on it is way out. Cases are stretching to 2.022" (from memory) and the bolt will close on both .308 and 7.62x51 no-go gauges plus some feeler gauges.

So I have 480rds of .308 I can't shoot until I shore up my headspace, other than that I would leave the rifle completely stock except for the arms18, to mount my optic.

I think the better example is why do people buy a civic and dump a ton of cash into it trying to make it as fast as a corvette, when they could buy a vette to begin with?


The answer is... its a hobby, a lifestyle and something that is enjoyable. Don't over think it, it is what it is.
