Unless you plan on going Class 3, I think you are refering to the HK91. Yes it is a good battle rifle. They are expensive, and unless you want an original HK for collection purposes it would probably be good idea to get a clone gun for a shooter.

Nope. That's why the Germans ripped it off from the Spanish CETME and issued it as their standard issue. ;)
The G3 is a well made rifle. Are you thinking about getting one? I've heard many complain about it's recoil. |

Well, some complain it has a very sharp recoil. Some people who are into military harware don't like adding recoil pads on their rifles. It's all shooter preference, but I'd suggest shooting one before you go out and buy one.

The HK91 DOES have sharp recoil...unless you buy a good buffer tube. I have the G3 Heavy buffer in mine, and it just feels like a good push. Nowhere near as bad as a SAR8 I recently shot. The 91's are a lot of fun to shoot, and you can find good, factory HK mage for $10 or less. I just bought 10 for $80. Most were still in the wrapper.

With the PSG1 stock and buffer system along with the weight (22lbs unloaded), it has very little recoil. More like the gentle shove mentioned above. |

I have a CETME and strongly dislike it. It is not a G3, but somewhat simular. If I would of paid the price of a G3, I would really be upset. Throwing away $425.00 isn't a great deal compared to loosing a $1000.

"this is ALL WRONG from the very beginnig"
Hey Hunter223, Can you please explain how you have enlightened us with this being wrong from the beginning when the third post says: "That's why the Germans ripped it off from the Spanish CETME and issued it as their standard issue. ;)" Doesn't look like it was wrong from the beginning, huh! Anyways, if you really want to pick a bone about it, a German designed the CETME anyways. To be more exact, the CETME rifle was designed by former Mauser engineer Ludwig Vorgrimmler, and the West German company Heckler and Koch (also former Mauser employees) had previously assisted CETME in preparing the Spanish production line for the rifle. So, HK played with the design and presto, the G3... |

HKocher, I'd take you up on your rifle in a heartbeat, but here in CT any rifle marked "HK91" is beleived to be built by Satan for killing babies. That must be why it is on our state ban, but not its clones...oh well.

Do you mean magazine? Nothing greater than 20 round OEM mags that I'm aware of. Owned both at one time, an H&K 91 and Springfield SAR3 - which is a Greek copy. Both were of the same quality and trouble free. Recoil wasn't bad either. |

Or a $1500 M1A to really OUTSHOOT it. And if it the HK wasn't banned, then it would cost just as much as the AR10. |

Here's the link to the ad.
www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=68650 The additional accessories are optional, at an extra cost of course. But I set up a good package: it comes with the port buffer, light bipod on wide forearm, the A2 stock has an HK21 MG buffer in it, the rear sight is replaced with an HK21 1200M sight (original drum sight also included), leather sling, manual, and 2 20 round HK german mags. All for $2300 plus shipping to FFL in a non-banned state. |

I doubt that it. PSG1's are tested with 50 (yes 5-0) rounds at 500 yards and all shots must be with in a 10" group. Still WAY over priced, though. Could probably build a stock M1A or AR10 up to do the same thing for a heck of alot less money. |

Does anyone have an answer to this question? I have read that the CETME magazines will work int the G-3 rifles, but will the G-3 mags work in the CETME's? I really would hate to buy one just to find out that it won't work.

Get a CETME and have about $100 left over to buy ammo. Wholesale Guns-n-Ammo is running a sale on these for just under $400 and they pay shipping. That is where I bought mine. I have heard people posting that they have had trouble with the CIA made CETME, but mine worked flawlessly after a complete field-stripping and cleaning. It's a good rifle...........I just like my AR10 and FAL a little better. OSA |

Of G3's? You gotta be joking. Mags are often less than $10. It's only the mags at gunshows that are expensive. They seem to think they are rare or somthing. I recently got 20 mags for $160...75% were still in the wrapper. So, your excuse above is not valid. www.aimsurplus.com www.tapco.com |

About recoil, the recoil on my HK91 is about the same as the recoil on my AR15, it is nothing.

Hunter223,
"saying G3 clone would be like not reconizing Spanish engeniers who made the CETME, therefor, i'm not even gonna vote." Good point newbie, but I was saying that since the CETME was developed by a German, and the production lines ended up being set up by HK, I wouldn't give too much thought to all the Spanish engineers who "designed" the CETME. Get the difference?  BTW, I'd watch who you call newbie, newbie. I've been on this board longer than what my "new" username would imply. Had to change it when they disallowed special characters in the username, such as Fallschirmjäger, and I just haven't been around lately. Too busy shooting and riding my CBR929RR... |

The CETME was based upon the Mauser factories' prototype assault rifle, the Stg-45(M). At the end of WW2, Mauser engineers went to Spain with the design for the Stg-45(M), and to my knowledge, they designed the CETME. H&K did step in to help Spain out with the production of stamped sheet steel, which is how they got involved . . . |

Hunter223,
I read you lickey chickey cherry boy. And yea, the 929RR is one bad bike. I was thinking of getting a CETME a while back from Aim Surplus, but alas, they are all gone. Besides, I'm spoiled with what my Bushy does at 100m, so the thought of paying $500 for a rifle that may shoot 2 MOA doesn't appeal to me. After all, I already have a Mini-14 that can shoot that bad... BTW, since you are in Argentina, how about those SAS troops! |

SAS? if yer talking about FALKLANDS (MALVINAS) war, let met tell ya something rookie, SAS didn't do SHIT here, the only thing they did do is crashing a helicopter against an iceberg killing some of those SASs and the chopper crew, on the other hand, the PARA and the MARINES did do A GREAT "WAR", having to walk almost 100 miles to get to Argentinian positions, they faught like well trained and equiped profesional SOLDIERS, hey a question, do you think the VIET CONGS or the NVA were as well trained and equiped as the english soldiers? i don't think so HUNTER FROM ARGENTINA OUT. aaaaaaaa we didn't that bad after all. |

Gee Hunter, I didn't realize the NVA and VC were helping the Argentines out down there. Thanks for the history lesson. Another interesting footnote for the books from Hunter223. The Spanish designed the CETME, and the VC and the NVA fought in the Falklands. Wow!
What's your problem with the SAS? Did they manage to infiltrate your position and butt rape you while you were molesting sheep? Oh yea, keep including the rookie thing, it's really cool, like that "Hunter from Argentina, OUT" thing you got going. Real impressive, almost makes you seem like you were in the military. What you could do instead is maybe hit that little spell check button right under the text area so you don't look like a complete moron... |

Prefer my G3 clone ($600 INDEP/FMP clone asssembled by Century arms and sold by SOG) to my ARs
clone has a muzzle brake and not that much more recoil than my AR in my opinion... but .308 packs way more wallup than .223 i find good surplus ammo is cheaper as well |
