So You Want To Buy A HK91/G3 Rifle...

[SteyrAUG]

I'm just waiting for the rifle to get to my dealer at this point. Only issue now is to purchase the paddle so I'm just trying to figure out if the Greek receiver differs from the original HK version. Mark at arizona response said the HK version has extra material in the paddle release area so I'm not sure which style to buy as I have no idea which style paddle is correctly sized. Obviously, if the paddle is too wide he can shape it to fit but he said if the space for it on the receiver is too wide it would cause an issue. I have to buy the parts and send them with the rifle. Any ideas?

Get the standard G3 paddle. I'm not 100% but I'm almost positive the anti rattle is for the MP5 only.

A little seen variant:

Attachment 8076

Greek licensed produced SAR 3/8
RDTS mod'd
HK-33/93 length handguards
16" barrel (17.7" regular)
Picatinny rail welded atop, can co-witness aimpoint
Paddle release

These rifles are esp reliable in cold/arctic weather as compared many military rifles.

This reminds me.. Been a few yrs since checking the roller gap.

I guess shooting copious quantities of hot gasses into the chamber and upper reciever has its benefits.

Hkparts.net advertises both the standard paddle and the "current model" I.e. Anti-rattle when searching under the hk91 model. I would assume they both fit but I'll give them a call and see what they say I guess.

No they have a anti rattle g3 paddle release.
Got mine from RTG it came on a demilled receiver stub marked

G3FS 1277470

BW
HK 10/83

It doesn't have a roller like the MP5 does but it does have the anti rattle piece riveted on just like the MP5.

Gotcha. Like I said I wasn't 100% sure.

Sorry for reviving a freshly dead thread, but a discussion with Templar last night has me on the hunt for an SAR-3 to convert to G3K spec (including paddle mag release conversion). Anyone have a lead on one?

FANTASTIC post Steyr.

Here is my much adored early Springfield G3 import. I picked this one up for $1200 in very lightly used condition. I had Williams clean up the trigger. I originally planned on selling it to finance my SCAR 17 but I really haven't decide which one I like better.

I really like the G3, a G3k would be sweet. Who do you have planned to do the conversion?

I have a g3 clone built out of an enfield parts kit and barrel with an aimpoint comp m4 and a heavy recoil buffer. It is a sweet blaster like that and I surprised how well it handles shooting off hand.

Nice blasters greg!

Good quality 14.5 G3K barrels don't exist... nor do good quality 16 inch G3K barrels.

I have heard good things about these barrels.
