I dont really know all that much about them but can offer some info. I see the Springfield G3s here in Wa state retail for around a grand +/- $50. The Springields are the best ones to get but are almost 2X the price of the Century & Hesse parts guns. Hesse is the worst. You will get what you pay for and are probably better off to get the Springfield. I did read some posts in the Build It Yourself forum about building one from a kit and I think everyone felt that unless you were a capable machinist it would be very difficult to build one.

I will say that building one is quite difficult.
If you buy one complete, then it is possible to get a bad one, but it is just as possible to get a good one. I have tried a G3 on a Hesse receiver, I shot from the prone position and fire a 5 shot group with open sights and kept it under 2". I will say that if I were going to spend the $500 on a semi auto .308 I would get an FN clone myself. Actually I did, I have an L1A1 on an Imbel receiver and I like it 10X's more then any of the G3 clones I have tried. |

VA-gunnut-Aren't the guns on your links made by the gun building monkeys at Century? If so it's a $ 400 ride on the roullette wheel. I would sure buy one I saw in a shop, rather than order one sight unseen, if I was forced to.
I saw a Century Cetme a couple of weeks ago and it was the nastiest looking gun I have ever seen-yuck! Is that who assembled this rifle GC 456 saw? If it's a Century $ 1200 is a dispicable price. Did Springfield ever manufacture a G 3 clone? If this thing was ASSEMBLED by Springfield that'd be a different breed of cat. To answer my one question  -Springfield made an Sar-8 1990-1994 which could either have a walnut or black plastic (more evil!!) thumbhole stock.

Hmm very intresting. Thanks for the help guys.
To answer Aimless the clone I saw said "Springfield" and it was $1250.00 I asked the guy if it was HK parst with a lower reciever, he said they were "imported" parts but the upper and lower recievers were US made. Just curious, what would a REAL G3 cost these days? |

Apparently a low of $ 1800ish and many are asking in the $ 3000 range I should add that that's price for an H & K 91. I've got one and it's a neat gun, but $ 3000???? Here are some SAR-8s www.gunsamerica.com/search.cgi?complex=1&custom=&lowprice=0&highprice=99999999&age=0&uid=&words=sar+8&category=2460&state=All If you could pick one of those up in the $ 1000 range that'd might be a fun gun for a much more reasonable price. |

I beleive that the Springfield Armory G3's are assembled from imported Greek G3 parts onto a Springfield receiver. The 2 I have seen had green furniture and were overall pretty high quality. I think they compare with the DSA & Enterprise FALs.
