Same quality as HK. If you can find an "overstamp" SAR 8 it might have a threaded barrel as well. They also made SAR 3's- which were pre-ban. Beware the ones with crushed on flash hiders SAR 8 only marked and of course the retarded giant aluminum receiver kit guns.

 

thanks for the reply. Based on the markings on both sides of the receiver of the rifle in question would it be one that you warn to beware of?

Here is a description for the rifle
"Outstanding customized SAR-8. It started out as a SAR-8 sporter, with the ridiculous thumbhole stock and shorter barrel to prevent anyone mounting a bayonet! I am the second owner and received it in new, un-fired condition. Still have the original box it came in, serial number matching. Gunsmithing was done by Arizona Response Systems in Surprise, AZ. The entire rifle is finished in METACOL III gray. Barrel was further shortened and flash hider permanently attached to meet ATF 16" standard. Paddle-magazine release was added along with a new ejection port buffer. Trigger housing was clipped and pinned to simulate the G3 three position housing. Furniture is the rare NAMIBIAN, new old stock condition, never mounted to a rifle. Stock uses a standard buffer properly anchored by THREE bolts, not two. Rifle has EXACTLY 60 rounds through it. It functions flawlessly, zeroed and tested to 100 yards. Also includes a spare, color matching pistol grip.

 

I had a SAR-8 excellent rifle. One of the guys at TPM bought it from me. The rifle you are talking about. I believe belongs to a member here.

 

I've got a SAR 3/8 overstamp and it's every bit the equal of my HK91.The only difference I can see is the finish----typical black enamel paint on the HK91 and a parkerized finish on the SAR 3/8.

 

Have never seen a factory park finish on an SAR3/8 of any flavor. I'd like to see pics.

 

after speaking with the seller of that SAR 8 yesterday it appears as if the furniture that appears in the GB auction has been sold and the rifle now is nekkid. No hand guard, stock or pistol grip.

 

And he reduced the price a whole $100? Wow what a nice guy.

I have a set of wood furniture available if anyone buys the naked rifle.

 

thanks for the feedback fellas

 

Based on the description I posted earlier, what do you think would be a reasonable price for this rifle? Is it 2K worth of gun?

NO. Without the scope and Namibian furniture, maybe 1500 with the ARS work.
I recently bought one with the same ARS work and an A3 stock for less than 1500

EDIT; still pushing it at 2000 with the furniture IMHO

 

Perhaps you misunderstood what that seller told you as I just had an exchange with him and he claims the rifle is sold exactly as it shows in the picture. That he sold off another handguard he had.

 

I guess I misunderstood then. . Clearly I'm new to the SAR 8 discussions, so does it look like a fair deal on this gun as it is described in the ad minus the scope?

 

Not sure as to HK finishes but park can run from black to gray to a greenish finish depending on how it was applied.

 

hkshooterusp,No problem here.I called it park because it just doesn't feel quite as smooth as paint would and it scuffs up just like my parkerized M1A mags.Now that you mention flat black paint it may be something along the lines of the very flat black/slightly grey paint you use to refinish your bbq grill--- would that be right for SAR 3/8 rifles?.I'll pull the stock off tomorrow and get back with you.

 

I was watching an HK 91 on Gunnroker yesterday that sold for $2500. Should've bought it instead I guess.

 

Except the HK91 is a neutered rifle.

To upgrade to what that guy was selling;

$250 in parts for the triple frame, paddle release, contact piece and clipped/pinned SEF lower.
$1000 for labor including re-finish, paddle install, triple frame install with grenade ring and threading/crowning barrel with permanent blind pinned flash hider.
$500 Nambian Furniture.
$1500 host rifle.

If you have to have "HK" then so be it but I think the guy is asking a fair price for what he has there, likely taking a $500 hit on the transaction as well.

 

truly spoken

 

We can talk numbers all day but when a clone exceeds the price of the original it gets really hard to swallow the price. Not many sane people will pay HK prices for non-HK stuff.

It's all relative. I don't personally consider the EBO guns to be clones anymore than I consider a Noveske or BCM to be a Colt clone. However it's just a matter of whether you want to spend that kind of money extra for possible upgrades you don't really need or want.

 

OP there is one SAR 8 overstamp gun on Gunbroker. Has the original threaded muzzle and detachable flash hider if interested.

 

I found a rifle recently that looks very nice but I'm not familiar with the markings on the gun. It is stamped "G3 7.62 Springfield Armory Genoso IL Made in Greece" Is this an EBO gun? Just curious where this gun would rate on the scale of HK 91 on down the SAR 8, SAR 3 etc list of rifles. is this a quality rifle?

 

Yes that would be an EBO rifle. Just as all the SARs are.

 

Just as all the SARs are.

Wrong.



Not an EBO made rifle. DCI made junk aluminum receiver, to be avoided at all costs unless the purchase is for the kit.

 

The G3 stamped EBO rifles are very rare early imports and very sought after. Get it, you can't go wrong.
The G3 is the first in the entire line of SAR HK types.

 

As you can tell from my previous post, the rifle I saw does not have DCI stamped on it.
