G3 Photo thread

Made another little mod to the G3:

I would say my hands are about average to slightly larger... wear medium of large gloves depending on the make.

But the G3 selector throw from Safe to Semi was seemingly designed for people with five inch fingers... or Germans!? 🤔 

I can just about snatch at the selector while I have the rifle shouldered, but only just - it's easier to slip it off into your arms which for some reason gives your hand a bit more reach.

Anyway I drill and tapped the 'safe' detent, screwed in a 3mm grub screw, and then drilled a new detent slightly less than half way to the semi position.

luckily the G3 offers you a lot of leeway before the safety actually comes off.

Anyway, now anyone with normal sized hands can flip between safe and semi with about a 1 cm throw from the end of the selector without actually de-shouldering the rifle.

Quite happy with how that turned out.

Thought to ask here for *reasons* 

 

Where are you folks getting your long flash hider from? Had a look around the usual suspects and could not see a smidgen of what I'm looking for, namely, the traditional long 'split' flash hider!

Got a pic of what you're after? G3s usually had an HK-style birdcage. If you mean a long 4-prong type that sounds like a G36 flash hider.
