Disassemble the magazine. You will notice a flat piece of metal welded on the underside of the follower. This limits how far the follower will go down hence limiting the number of rounds that will fit in the magazine. Shorten it the right amount in order to still remain legal.:)Quote:

How about I bash your thumb with a hammer... after the jumping around has finished, we can agree it was a stupid idea... and thus the stupid idea is out of your system and the purchase of a M305 wont happen :DQuote:

I dunno I have a hard on for the Garand style. I've asked about one that hasn't exploded yet and shoots well (witnessed it).
I love them. They clean up nice and the 2 i have, shot really well straight out of the box. Albeit with expensive factory ammo.
Buy a Garand.... :DQuote:

Just file it down until its to your likeing and put a dab of colour on it if thats your thing.
Yeah crossed my mind might have to do it save some cash

The barnaul stuff is a lot cheaper than buying expensive factory ammo (BARNAUL - Price Lists). I can't reload for 80 or less cents a shot.Quote:

Except for the FAL, but going from A4 page to claybird sized group is a big improvement even for that thing.
Just one thing it looks like the Regs will be changed so AR15s, AK47s might need a class E licence....
mine has a No.4 enfield front sight grafted on, works pretty good

maybe a set of needle files will fit??, they are quite narrow
Howdy, all, new here. Just picked up a new Polytech M305; got it home last night, unpacked and cleaned it, discovered the safety will not engage. I understand that they will not engage unless hammr is cocked, but will not engage with hammer cocked either. When I pulled the trigger group, cocked it, tried to engage the safety, it looks like some material needs to be removed in 2 places; where the trigger block slides up in front of the trigger sear, and where the nose of the safety hooks down over the hammer safety lug. Anybody had issues with this?
Thanks in advance;

Mate if you bought it new take it back easiest option let the shop deal with it.

Yeah, I hear ya. Problem is it was shipped out of Vancouver B.C., I emailed an told them the issue, haven't heard back. Hoping they will accept an exchange on the trigger group rather than shipping the gun both ways. I was just wondering if any one else had had this issue. Btw, what is a good ammo for these? Can one use commercial hunting rounds, or should I stick with milsurp ammo?
Thanks;
Drifter
Oh I see that does make it abit harder, I wouldn't personally file anything at this stage, could you take your trigger group into a local hunting store that has them and compare yours/try it in one of there rifles? Maybe somone here close to you could help, where u located?

As for ammo I've only used federal 168gr shots decent enough but they ain't too fussy just prefer 168gr thereabout pills from memory

Go onto Canadian Gun Nutz and PM M14DOC or BarneyQuote:

Thanks again;

Keep us posted how u get on anyhow

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,
Drifter
I pulled my rear sight off and wire brushed and cleaned it. It will be soaked in oil and have that gritty feel about it, a clean up does wonders.
Get an NM spring guide, GI recoil spring, NM op rod guide. Will cycle a lot smoother.
Thanks, all much appreciated!

Well folks. I decided to get off my lazy keester, went out to my little man cave, stripped it down. Lapped the op-rod and ways, lapped bolt lugs, ( head space was quite tight) lapped the bolt slide contact surfaces where it contacts the action. Disassembled the trigger group. stoned the sear contacts, then refitted the safety. It was WAY off; had to remove a fair bit of metal, both where it blocks the trigger and on the hammer latch. Also polished where the bolt and hammer slide against each other when cocking. This gun cycles SO smooth now; trigger pull is smooth, still around 5 pounds. I am anxious to get out to the range now to see what it shoots like. Thanks to all for the suggestions and advice.
Regards,
Drifter
Oh nice have u got any pics of the work done? I might have to do the same with mine
sent from my G3 using tapatalk 2
No, never thought to take pics, but suppose I could take a few tomorrow. Remind me if I forget; I do have a pretty full day, have to go to the next town up the line and get my truck from the repair shop[, but will try. Would have been easier to take them while I was doing the work, but no ever accused me of doing things in the correct order.....:D
Why out of VC?
Surely the freight would be worth more than the gun??
Don't be tempted to reduce the pull weight below 4.5lbs = bad joo joo
Yeah. I hear ya. Things go sideways......
I didn't file the sears; just used Arkansas stone on them, make them a bit smoother. Gotta watch that; can't put back what ya take off!!Quote:
