Don't think I've got any unless a plastic 2 tone or shitty rattlecan counts?

As much as I'm a fan of German guns and HK in particular, that I kind of like

This is from a while ago, not mine it just sticks out as an abomination

Back on Arnies there were a few people who were legitimately militant about AK purity so I got a King Arms 74 and AR-15 adapters for both the front and rear ends specifically to offend them.  There were a couple of iterations of this but this one is the most heinous.

 

 

Was also loaned this long ago by a shop to publicise; WE GBB AK in an SRU 3D printed bullpup kit.

I kinda like it. (not telling which one I like tho  )

[Jez_Armstrong]

Isn't the G3 a copy of the CETME?

I think so, or vice versa ??

[TheFull9]

Yeah CETME was first, some Germans went to France after the war, then Spain, worked on a new gun based on the StG45.  Eventually (after lots of iterations) the Spanish adopted the CETME in 762 NATO in the late 50s and the Germans got a few along the way.  Those guns became the basis for the G3.  That's the super compacted version.

 

If you look at the metal base/sockets on stock of the Stg44, 45, CETME and G3, the single pin at the bottom that holds them and the rough shape of TMH/lower receiver on each you can follow the lineage along pretty nicely.

I would love me a Spanish Cetme. 

 

Here's one in the Estonian Weapons museum I visited in March (Tallinn)

 

 

[Enid_Puceflange]

I’ve fielded this a couple of times since I added the stock and front end

It always gets “It’s nice, but I prefer the standard set up” comments

So it must upset some peeps!

Good ?

Yeah had to step away while my life exploded, imploded and then got stirred around in a soup of bullshit for a while. It's nice to know I was missed.
