In your opinion would it be worth $750.00 if it was #4? I figured I would use the FMP receiver & parts as a building block to build a sear host of some sort. Perhaps dedicate a .22 kit to it.Please make sure that this is not a Franken-gun. SN should appear on receiver, buttstock, etc. (like the original G3's).
Moreover,
1. Left receiver should be marked "G3S", "FMP", serial number and "1/89", "XG3S", "FMP", serial number and "3/89" or "XG3S", "FMP", serial number and "5/89";
2. Right receiver should be marked "MADE IN PORTUGAL/PARS INTERNATIONAL/LOUISVILLE, KY/CAL. .308";
3. PARTS GUN
- Left receiver should read "FMP" only;
- Right receiver should read "INTER ORDNANCE OF AMERICA LP.", "MONROE, NC" "MADE IN PORTUGAL" AND ".308 WIN".
4. PARTS GUN
- Left receiver should read "FMP" only;
- Right receiver should read "Imported by CAI Georgia VT", "Manufactured by Indep", "Portugual", serial number and "G-3".
Number 4. sounds like yours. Personally, I would take a pass!
If new (with good internals), at least one magazine and sling, MAYBE.In your opinion would it be worth $750.00 if it was #4? I figured I would use the FMP receiver & parts as a building block to build a sear host of some sort. Perhaps dedicate a .22 kit to it.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
this is the best way...1: remove the pins
2: cock the rifle and leave charging handle in slot
3: place a screwdriver into one of the pinholding holes
4: use a rubber mallet to tap on screwdriver shaft. or
4a: wiggle stock back and forth, side to side to gain some movement.
5: add oil if you need around the metal stock end at rear of reciever.
6: look out for flying buttstocks!
