Dennis

 

Coffee included!

 

Hi. Glad you liked them.

 

For some reason I’ve always liked the straight mags in MP5s. And the crate full of 21 parts is awesome!
Thanks for sharing!

 

Great Pics! Like others have said, I dig the 21 parts crate.

 

Only if i could get my hands on that G3.

 

Here are some more pictures.

Here are some more pictures.
G3FS Made for HK by Kongsberg weapons factory. Serial. 910115. Kongsberg made 100,000 G3 for HK in 1965 and 66. Serial numbers 820k to 920k were set aside for weapons from Kongsberg. This is how HK learned to use Cold Hammer forged barrels.
Armalite AR10 Sn.000079 and FN M51 Sn.3. From the Trails where Norway chose G3 (AG3) as the new main battle rifle.
AG3F1 Sn.287696.

Excellent--- what is the date on the left receiver of the G3FS??? :wink:

I really like the brown plastic furniture, not sure I've ever seen the "boring" surplus stuff in that color. The wood set is outstanding, even the carry is wood! The large, vented front looks weirdly modern, and does anyone else think the wood stock looks a lot like the Namibian?

 

Hi Tony. The date on the G3FS is 9/66.

 

Thank you!!! :wink:

Awesome--- thanks--- on the G3FS, unusal that 891623 would have a later manufaturing date than 910115!!! :wink:

Some Swedish weapons.

Some Swedish weapons.
The G3 rifles are Trail guns from 1960 to 1964.
Serial number and text written on the rifles are written under the pictures if stated.
Fm stands for "Försöksmodell" Trail model or experimental model.

These are great!
Thanks for posting.

 

"Trail" = trial?

Those are so cool. I wonder what's in or was in the coffee can thing on the third image.

 

Hi Tony. 891623 has a "-3" stamped behind the serial number. This supplement was put on test weapons that were taken out of production. The skull and cross bones stamped on the magazine well behind the serial number means the weapon has been discarded. Maybe this is why it has a later production date?

 

Thank you for the clarification--- the markings appeared "post-production"--- your explanation makes sense!!! :wink:

Tony

 

A couple more Norwegian G3s

A couple more Norwegian G3s and a tragedy!!!

Most excellent--- thanks again!!! :biggrin:
Questions: :wink:

1. 891553- is it also marked with the “skull/crossbones- 3”?
2. 895042- is it also marked with the “skull/crossbones”, and what is the significance of the "- 2"?

Tony

 

Hi Tony. I cant se skull and cross bones Stamped on any of them. In the book "AG3 faithful servant in the Armed Forces through fifty years" an AG3 serial number 142975-4 is described, it says "Based on the additional marking -4, one can assume that this rifle is one of a small series of test weapons."
This is the only explanation I have found for this additional digit after the serial number.

 

Thanks!!! :biggrin:
