@@Hoplopfheil I looked for a "long time" to decide about which "checkpoint rifle" I wanted. Ended up with a M1a Socom II. Red Dot sight & light/laser combo. "Thoughts, in general?

@@lesliestar6344 I own a PTR91, M1A and AR10. If you have to go with 308 pick an AR10. PTR91s are good battle rifles that in my experience don't fail without extensive firing without cleaning (650 rounds before I had jamming issues over months). The reloads are very slow though, and getting the PTR91 or M1A to be half as modular as an AR10 requires a decent amount of cash shelling, at which point you would have been able to get a good optic on an AR10 platform. Proper eye relief on something like a magnifier or LPVO can also be a concern. They are definitely fun guns though, and I shoot mine way more than my AR10. Really comes down to how much you are willing to sacrifice function for fun and reliability.

@@upkz762 As mentioned, already purchased an M1a. It, perform(s),(ed) quite well for what I needed at the time! "Mission/need's" have changed, so it is stored "in the bunker now". The RDS was sufficient. I have AR pattern rifles with LPVO's (several). Thanks for the input.

do you think it was the 9lbs gun or the 90lbs of gear that was heavy

After running AKs and AR15s often, switching to the "big boys" aka full battle rifles...shits heavy.

It is all relative. As crazy as it sounds when I got my hands on the updated G3 the Swedish military uses it turned out to be around 5,5kg...which is not that much more than the standard service rifle which is just over 5kg.

Idk, I think a 16in is fine for a DMR 308. With a battle rifle or dmr you may still have to do things in close, clearing rooms or vehicle stuff and you're probably not engaging farther than 800 yds.

@@deadbolt9019 - Yeah, ain't that the truth? There's no free lunch, in terms of physics. If you want to use a rifle firing a powerful center-fire cartridge, that rifle has to be stoutly made. The barrel, receiver, bolt-BCG, etc. are heavier than those found on the typical AR15. Today, synthetic materials are beginning to become practical light-weight alternatives to steel and aluminum, but many rifles still rely on machined billet steel, which means weight. Patriot Ordnance Factory or POF, as they are called, claim to have made a breakthrough - I say "claim" only because I have not verified that the published data are correct - in the design of an AR308, namely their 308-caliber large-frame AR weighs no more than the equivalent AR15 when unloaded. The design of the bolt-BCG is different than the typical large-frame AR, as are other details. But again, no free lunch: Weight is your friend when soaking up the recoil impulse, and in a lighter rifle/carbine, that .308 is going to kick pretty hard. They're rare and expensive, but the old Armalite AR10 design from the late 1950s - which was license-built by the Dutch firm of Artillerie Inrichtingen during the 1960s for export sale - may have come the closest to the "holy grail" of a sub-eight pound battle rifle in .308. weighing in at 7.25 - 8.9 lbs without magazine. The variance one assumes is due to the precise configuration. The famous Jerry Michulek borrows Reed Knight's example out of his museum's collection, and wrings it out on You Tube as only he can. Check it out. Even old Jerry is pretty impressed. The modern 1990s and onward Armalite isn't the same firm, but a modern company which makes AR-type firearms under that name. Their AR10s are somewhat heftier and are in no way light like their forbearers, despite being nice rifles otherwise.

Portugal adopted the SCAR the G3 will remain for the Marines and rear area personal

@ Bojan M. - The CETME/G3 platform is a legend, and with good reason. Used by more than fifty nations during its height in the Cold War, the rifle proved itself all over the world in some of the harshest climates around and under conditions that would break or destroy many lesser designs. The G3 was fielded, as the 7.62x51 mm M80 round was fielded, in the expectation that it would be used against invading Soviet-Warsaw Pact forces flooding through the Fulda Gap and across the northern German plains into greater Europe. That didn't happen, but the G3/CETME was used in numerous smaller conflicts around the world. It is perhaps most famous for its use by Iran during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s and in the African "bush wars" from the 1960s onwards, but many armies still use them today in some role or other. It was/still is famous for being able to function and remain reliable under appalling conditions of neglect, abuse and dirt/debris. Indeed, some of the mercs and irregulars using them never cleaned their rifles, yet they continued to run. The platform may be the last word in reliability and toughness in a long arm for military use. The Israeli Galil and Com-Bloc AKM-AK47 are legendary for their reliability and toughness, but the CETME/G3 even outstrips them, according to some sources. But the penalty is weight; they're built like tanks but are in no way light.

Back in the 1980's my Dad used to own an ex-Namibian one converted to semi-auto only, back when that was legal here (Canada). He recalls it being extremely beat up (he paid something like $350 for it) but the bore was good and it never once give him any problems. No telling how many rounds it had through it before it came to him, but he added to that by at least a few thousand before selling it. When I used one on a foreign weapons course in the army, it was in equally poor state. Again, it didn't stop working and we really ran it hard. Everyone who was 5'10 and over liked it. Everyone shorter had more mixed opinions. I fell in love with the thing. Thanks for the post!

@@bojanmilankovic - Thanks for writing, and interesting to hear of your experiences. The consensus seems to be that the CETME/G3 can take a licking and keep on ticking, to paraphrase that old watch advertisement. With as much as they weigh, they better be durable, right? I find it ironic that the CETME/G3 has outlasted its chief Cold War competitor, as a service rifle, the FN FAL, in service with military and other forces. I guess that speaks to its basic virtues. The FAL was adopted by some ninety countries ultimately, but few still use it today, whereas some fifty or so nations used the CETME/G3, but many still retain them today in some capacity. If my info is correct, the G3 is cheaper and less-complex to make, which may factor into it. The FAL is by no means an inadequate design, it is a great one in fact - but sometimes the cheaper and less-complex option wins out. I somewhat prefer the FAL to the G3, so it is something of a mystery to me it wasn't retained more often, but regardless, if I was a young conscript, I would not feel inadequately armed with either one.

@@danp5073 Their marines and some of their UN troops choose to keep the G3 over the death rattle FN gun

So it depends...if he got the enhanced buffer from Hkparts it isn't going to do jack shit really. It's two shitty copper backed springs taken out of the standard buffer. What he really wants is the Bill Springfield buffer or Parabellum Combat one. Both of those are fantastic because they actually use different springs.

Glad your experience was different, but beware that not all Century Arms CETME surplus rebuilds accept surplus G3 magazines. Some take 'em, but some only accept CETME-pattern magazines, which are harder to find. Maybe there is a way to do some light fitting of the G3 magazines so they work or work better, but if so, I have not seen anything on that. It's a real shame, too, because those wood-stocked CETME clones are very appealing to an old Cold War-era dude such as myself (Yeah, go ahead and cue the 'Boomer jokes.... ; )

Scope mounting on the fal has basically one good option I thought. It's still a cold war bigger is better battle chungus.

@@randomidiot8142 That is the rub with the FAL, aftermarket accessories are nowhere near even the G3.

If you look at what the Bundeswehr has done to make G3s into DMRs, it gives you an idea of what is needed to bring this rifle into the 21st century. I'm going from memory but if I recall correctly, those precision rifles have a new trigger pack or a trigger job, a replacement stock which is adjustable to the shooter's cheek weld and length of pull, a refined two-stage buffer and recoil spring, and of course a suitable optic and mount, plus a provision for mounting modern imaging devices and accessories and a sling. LeRoy Thompson's book for Osprey Military, "The G3 Battle Rifle" (Weapon 48, Osprey Publishing, 2019) has a nice section on what the modern German marksman used in Afghanistan, as well as some well-done photos and illustrations. But yeah, tough go making this boat-anchor into a lighter, more-portable machine. Hit the gym and build those muscles.... As a military historian, I have been somewhat surprised to find that so few nations have tried the FN FAL/SLR/L1A1 as a precision or sniper weapon. Bob Cashner's book, "The FN FAL Battle Rifle," also for Osprey (Weapon 27, 2013), seems to conclude that it is primarily because of the rifle's clam-shell style hinged receiver that the weapon did not enjoy better success as a precision platform. Eventually, solutions were found to this problem, both during the Cold War (the British SUIT, various German optics, etc.) and later on (DS Arms retrofit M1913/P-rail receiver cover). The Argentines used a few scoped FALs during the Falklands War, but that's about the only record I can find. But then, I am not a specialist in this rifle or its history as others are. IMHO, the FAL is far-superior ergonomically. It balances better in the hand, and "points well," as a shotgun enthusiast would say. The controls are convenient and well thought-out. The adjustable gas system is a wonderful performance enhancement, though I understand that in some armies and units, adjustment was done by unit NCOs and/or armorers and the line troops were not permitted to adjust the valves unless specifically ordered to do so. Properly set for M80 Ball, the FAL is a much pleasanter rifle to use than the G3/CETME design; its recoil is not nearly as harsh as the roller-delayed blowback of the G3. The FAL barrels are generally accurate, but the trigger and iron sights could be better, although they are of course more than adequate to the typical soldier's use. And they are hard-hitting, rugged, and reliable weapons, firing an effective cartridge.

the fal is worse in every realistic way.

The Slingster was OK for my PTR. Didn't like how thin the webbing was it would frequently tangle. I run a M60 sling instead now.

the $100 enhanced dmr buffer no, the wider HK21 buffer does but its $200+

@@adam3651 Do you know if the 21 buffer will fit in the Spuhr stock? I know the Swedes use a long buffer that is similar to the 21 buffer, but I can't remember how the two of them compare in terms of width and length.

@@dexm2010 also interested to know the answer to that question. Recently got a Spuhr, would 100% pony up for the 21E buffer if it fits.

@@metzwax5021 I'll bet someone over at HKPro likely knows the answer, I just struggle to bring myself over there for...various reasons.

@@dexm2010 No, it won't. The width of the HK21E buffer is slightly larger than that of the DMR buffer. It's also significantly longer. HKParts does sell a copy of the G3 Heavy Buffer, but they're out of stock right now. These mimic the -21E style, but with a shorter housing that will fit in the A2, Magpul PRS, or Spuhr with a bit of modification (need to dremel some space in the back plate).

Yeah, I've been trying to come up with a serious reason to get 5.56 ak instead of an ar but I really can't except for "it looks cool."

I never really understood this. Why does it need to be a "serious use" rifle? In practical terms, you're likely never even to use in your gun, but even then, you don't really need anything other than one rifle, one shotgun, and one pistol with few exceptions. Everything else is no matter how you try and justify it, ultimately exists in your collection "Because it's cool." And that's okay, because guns are really fucking cool.

Did you go with the spurh stock? Everything I've seen for a HK upgrade points to that but I hate the look of it

@@alllopez63 I cannot share a photo here, but yes, I did. The Spuhr stock is set up to help deal with the "hump" in the back of the receiver on the G3. If you run an optic, you need to raise your head considerably above the line of the iron sights. I don't think your average AR stock can do that - without going for something that gives an elevated cheek weld. However, the Magpul PRS-2 does something similar.

The G3 was a standard issue rifle and works just fine in that role. You can definitely use it in a multi role if you have a 4x, collapsible stock, sling, white light and maybe a red dot.

Work out more!
