  1. If you can get a good condition G3 (and you can keep sand out of the rollers) you'll have one fine shooting rifle. Denmark bought one million heavily used G3s from Germany for the hefty price of one Deutchmark a pop (about a US dollar at the time). We then took the best half a million and called the rest "spare parts". I did my initial training and two tours to Balkan with one of those. It had probably belonged to 20 German conscripts and 15 Danish conscripts before I got it. The only issue all G3s have is that you need to jam it properly into the shoulder when you fire or you get a reload failure. But since it's 7.62 you learn that pretty quickly anyway. Forget to do so and you get both a donkey kick and a stove pipe.... Other than that it just hits a 4" center at 300 meters all day every day. I routinely got 198 or 199 points out of 200 at 300 meters already before I was through the conscription period.
