    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.

    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.

    The last lot of barnaul i got shot minute of A4 paper at a hundred (168gr and 140gr). That was through 2 m305s a FAL and an AR10. So i load up with my expensively consistant reliable ammo and Nek Minute!..... MOA or damn close to it. 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....

    Safety issues with Polytech M305

    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.

    Safety issues with Polytech M305

    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;
