Finally getting some numbers in, as I suspected a decent amount is garbage rods coming in. No shocker there

I can guarantee, there is more than 705 Norinco M305’s in the wild, Daniel Fritter from caliber mag mentions a story where a shipment of 40,000 were sold out in 5 days….only one shipment

There's actually more on the list, they're listed under a few different frts. Still no more than a few thousand. I didn't add them up. They were leaving the shelves at the near the same rate as SKS rifles for a time.

I betcha a lot of people will withdraw due to them amnesty extension.

There is no way the majority of the people who ran for compensation are going to withdraw.

I said a lot. Not a majority. Wouldn't surprise me if 25% don't follow through.

Just doing a skim earlier, i think at least 10k of these guns are rimfire models. LOL models that are legal in the UK, a country that wont let you own a pocket knife. Remove the numbers from Saskatchewan and Alberta, people who withdraw or don't show up, and the LPC has spent 6 years, nearly a billion dollars (so far) to confiscate maybe 40k guns and with maybe 10k of those being plastic rimfire plinkers, that can just be replaced by a different model lol.

Wish I had an M305. Was humming and hawing about buying one on like April 29 2020 🤦

But they listed them as M14’s not even M305’s, if you’re going to use the law against people shouldn’t you have to use the legal names of the item, half adding at its finest

Both have separate entries in the images posted above. I believe they were branded as M-14 at first, and the changed to M305 for whatever reason.
