    The Archangel is a good upgrade, lighter than the Norc synthetic

    I had one years ago which had an out of battery discharge with American Eagle ammo which damaged the bolt lugs and receiver. I did no modifications at all to it. It shot ok with Barnaul 140gr SP and the open sights. Shot like shit with PPU. I don't really have much info to offer. Google "canadian gun nutz", register and read up on them in the battle rifle section.

    I mostly shoot military surplus ammo and have had no any issue so far. It's quiet accurate too.
    Make sure you grease your M14 and always keep the piston dry too!!

    That's a really good looking example of an M305 Bismarck.

    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.

    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

    Mine was a real special one - it was ackley improved from the factory... piece of shit...
