I have the opportunity to purchase a Springfield Armory SAR-8. This is actually a 3 overstamped with an 8. The packaging calls it a SAR 8 Sporter and it includes a rifle, scope (cheap) 5 mags, 750 rds of ammo, bipod and by the way the rifle has never been fired 19yrs old.
I can purchase this for $1,500.00 for the complete package outlined above. I understand that the 8's are junk but my question is; being an overstamped 3 and the rounds, scope, bipod, original box and 5 mags, is this a deal worth pursuing. When I do buy the rifle can I return it to Springfield Armory for a M1? Is the M1 a much better rifle than an 3 overstamped to 8? Thank You for your replies. Bill I have 3 pictures I just don't know how to upload them to this site. |

If this is the over stamp model that has pre-ban features then I think it's a good buy. What I mean is if it looks exactly like an HK91, not the SAR that has a thumb hole stock and pinned muzzle brake.
FYI it's not an alumibomb if it's an over stamp. Those are flat out SAR-8's. |

| I paid $975 for my greek sar8 and I actually got a pretty decent deal for the rifle. The 3/8 overstamp in question is a more desirable rifle then mine so $1500 for the package isn't a bad price actually(depending on furniture and type of ammo). If you could get the price down anymore I'd definitely do it if you want an hk91 type rifle. |

Yeah, that's a good price for supposedly NIB / Unfired. |

I have the serial number also: 06657 means nothing. What does the receiver look like?? If you have the coin and it's stamped, buy it. Come sept / oct of next year. if the vagina has the D side wrapped up, you'll double your investment. If not you'll still have a good deal. |
