While perusing a gun store, I ran across a very interesting G3 variant. The SAR-8 imported by Springfield Armory. These guns are ancient. Some folks like them, the HK guys probably don’t.
But…what I liked about this particular SAR was how it’s configured. The rifle isn’t being sold as anything more than what it is: A SAR with some parts bolted to it. However, it is clear the previous owner wanted to get as close to a PSG1 as he could afford.
Did we buy it? No. At least not yet. But it certainly is something we absolutely would buy.
Sincerely,
Marky
