    Just added another weapon to the herd. Atlantic is selling Portuguese licensed HK G3 kit on PTR barrel and receiver. It was all G3 surplus, except the PTR barrel, trunnion, and receiver. Even has the SEF metal grip frame. Bolt carrier is original full auto style, but the trigger pack, of course, has been modified to semi. The fit and finish are great, and we checked the rear and front sights with a laser bore sighter, and the are perfectly centered. It seems to be one that Century got right.

    Can't wait to get it out of 10 day jail. I still have all my Freedom Week G3 mags in a Rhodesian Fereday chest rig for the PTR I had back then. I also had a set of CETME wood furniture from a C model I had 20 years ago. Took just a bit if fitting on the stocks buffer's front plate. Everyone is out of the HK G3 bayonet sockets for the cocking tube, and dang G3 bayonets are $125 for the short blade. I still had my C model CETME 1969 model with the 9" blade, and the CETME style bayonet adapter that fits the HK G3 cocking tube. Saved over $150. The HK G3 9 inch bayonets are more expensive than the short 7" and are about $600. I got a 9" that I gave $29 for back in the day.

    Pics to come.

      What a pleasant experience Ord must have been. I passed through there a few months back around dusk and was completely awestruck. Hadn’t been up there in 40 years at least. Since I was a little boy.

        I replaced the AK with the FMP/HK G3 .308 clone. More thump, and more versatile. G3 is a great battle rifle

            m30a.jpgA few more changes: added a Ruger PC Carbine, and replaced the AK with a Mini-30. I just can't seem to love the AK!. Also, the XM16E1 clone is going to be on a PSA/H&R gray XM16E1 lower, and the GAU build is back on my 1990 prototype lower, The GAU's hand guards are now correct, with a set of Colt type shiny 6 hole ones.

              That USA 20 round mag goes back to the 90s when I had a Mini-30 as my patrol carbine. I had a stainless 3x9 scope on it. One of the other deputies said it was my "A Team, Pimp rifle"!

                  Probably doesn't match up with anything historically correct, but I put this together a while back -

                  The shiny thing is a '68 made Colt DS - not sure why I had it in the shot.
