Thread: Norinco M305, M14 ?

Yep, will do. These guns are about as rough as they are cheap. Cycling the action, pulling the op-rod back feels like it is full of sand. Once I resolve the safety issue with the seller, I am going to lap the action; specifically the op-rod and ways, possibly the hammer face and bolt end as well. Will check locking lug contact to see if any lapping is needed there while I am at it. Any of you fine folk out there think of anything else I should check on while I am at it? I pulled and cleaned the gas piston, (boy, they sure oil em' down for the trip across the pond, don't they?) scrubbed the bore and chamber, (a lot of black came out of the bore) and checked the rear sight for operability, made sure the front sight is tight, etc. The rear sight is quite tight to turn one direction, but not the other. Any ideas on this? Is it something I should disassemble and "tune up" as well? Or are they about as good as they get? Thought I might as well get all these niggling things out of the way, I can't pick up any ammo until Tuesday, so might as well do these things while waiting.....

Later all,
