Zarrin Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) 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. Edited Monday at 09:39 by Zarrin ButcherBill and TheFull9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaylordofwaargh Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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!

G3s usually had an HK-style birdcage. If you mean a long 4-prong type that sounds like a G36 flash hider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Wright Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 If it’s a UKSF style one you’re after, I had to mine custom made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, yeah looking around and grabbing pics of what the other g3's have it could well be custom, it is the prongs I am looking for.
