I was surprised that my Danish girlfriend's landlord, whose attic she was renting, got to keep his G/75 at home while in the Home Guard. I'm a reserve officer and a UNIFIL/KFOR veteran, but the Finnish Defence Forces would never trust us with service rifles to keep at home. Anyhoo, the landlord once came back dead-tired from an exercise (on his bicycle!), so I offered to clean his rifle for him. He was skeptical, but I had it field-stripped in no time. We had cross-trained with the Swedes' AK4s in Lebanon.

@andrewallason4530 The G3 is heavy and it's a battle rifle. We cross-trained with the Swedish AK4 version when I was in Lebanon. I have to say, I much preferred our Valmet assault rifle. Handier to get in and out of APCs and on patrols, too, the weight wasn't such a chore. Our Swedish colleagues wouldn't admit it, but when they had peacekeepers rotate in with the then-new FNC, the old fogies were suddenly jealous.
