Pretty darn proud for this!
Portuguise navy have just adopted our upgrade for G3 after extensive tests.
The tough Nato 14 test where the gun is dropped into steel a number of times on 2 meters killed the competition
I have some Spuhr kit on my G36: top rail and magwell. Love 'em both.
I have been strongly considering upgrading my HK91 with this kit for awhile.. the only thing stopping me is that the HK91/G3 looks so damn good with the wood furniture I have on there!

Dropped 200ft onto steel according to other article.
One thing I noticed is those FMP were never upgraded to the free float cocking tube, or for that matter even refinished.
A little surprised on a system upgrade they didnt at least let an armory freshen them up and give a serious going over to verify they were in spec with gauges, etc.
So, are you going to sell these to American civilians or this going to be like that BS where you won't sell 40mm GL sights except to our military?
If you only knew how many civilian owners of an M203 (thousands) in this country hate you for that.......including me. How dare you decide what we can or cannot own as long as it is legal here? If it's legal for us to own an M203 (and it is, I have one) you should not be deciding that we can't own a sight. Your US .mil distributor and their "civilian side" distributor wasted 2 months of my life, multiple non-returned emails/phone calls etc. to finally tell me I couldn't have one, and this was AFTER I contacted you and you referred me to them!
You should be aware that the US Government is exempt from needing to obey patent law when it regards their own requirements, any company here can clone your sight (or any of your other products for that matter) without you having any recourse as long as they are only selling to the US Government, and the government is also required to buy "US made" whenever that is available.
How dare I?
My government only allows for export of the 40mm sight for governments!
There is NOTHING I can do about that!
If I could export the 40 mm sight to US civilians I would do it.
You can check with US manufacturers if there wanna **** with the ITAR laws and what happends if they do!
The 40mm sight and the full auto 417 lowers are the only current products I not can export to civilians.
The G3 and MP5 upgrades are for most part already in stock by Mile High shooting accesories!
I would certainly be nice if you cared to check up facts before you start Blaming me for a lot of **** that is out of my controll!
If I am understanding the other article that TFB did, and having looked at close shots of the stock -- I believe the civilian version attaches the cheek piece with a screw.
The Portuguese upgrade parts use a snap on/off method which is not publicly available.
I've always loved your products. The Spuhr mount on my MR762 is a work of art and is absolutely the nicest scope mount I've ever used. Congrats on the contract - well deserved!
As other have said nice upgrade. I do wonder how they are going to support spares for the G3’s, didn’t Portugal sell off it’s production line and spare parts years ago?
Spuhr, Can you please reveal when the screw detente for quick removal of the cheek piece will be available to the civilian market?
