But it isn't an example of my mistake. A HK G3 (and the non HK G3 is also .308) IS a .308 and not .223.
I'm not attacking, just interested. I'm extremely familiar with the HK G3. What is the "non-HK G3"? I've seen a clone produced here in de mudderland (mutter?? Tom?), but didn't really consider that "non-HK". Want to clarify, Jim?
Up until then I thought I did too...I"m not so sure any more. It's not a clone of the HK G3 as it was explained to me, it was apparently used as an interim weapon when the German Army dropped the HK G3 as a standard issue weapon a few years ago (ala G11). Maybe FAL, they're selling a 'G1' rifle that uses caseless ammo? Though I can't find a reference to any such rifle. Maybe it was CETME you do see their gun pushed as the 'G3' (the HK is a 'clone' or derived weapon from the Spanish gun). Honestly, I never could figure out exactly what was going on there. That's why I finally dropped it. I just did some searches on google and didn't find anything helpful. Hope that helps. ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
