Anyone know what countries still use the G3 as a standard battle rifle?

Lots. Saudi's still issue it to the masses, Latvia I know for sure, but I think they are in the middle of a swap out, Lithuania uses it as a type of DMR, as a lot of countries still do, kind of like the US uses variants of the M-14. And of course any rebellion with any style what-so-ever.

I'm sure they are still all over Africa. When I was with the CJSOTF in 2002 the Danish and Norwegian troops still carried the G3 in Afghanistan.

Greece makes their own, (Hellenic Arms) and its a pretty nice one.

Meskins still have tons of 'em.

Pretty sure the Iranians continue to use their license produced G3.

Thanks. Does Pakistan still use their version of the G3?

Yes they do. Sweden still uses it in the "home guard".

Does Turkey still use them?

Yes, standard service rifle for the regulars and conscripts.

Modern equipment and uniform of the Turkish Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The private border guard groups down there and many ranchers and SW indians are leery to use the G3 because the invading messikins use them and they are afraid to be mistaken for them when the ball opens up. This is not heresay but first hand intel

Yep, I've seen this first hand. Living in San Diego, we're a stone's throw away from Tijuana. Believe it or not my grandma lives in Tijuana and I visit her frequently. Last time I was down there, some of the military stationed at the border were clearly holding G3s. When I was parking my car on a side street at my grandmas house, a desert tan camo humvee drove by carrying half a dozen federal agents all holding G3s in the back. On the flip side, last time my wife and I vacationed in Cabo (about 6 years ago), we were walking on the beach and off in the distance we noticed a group of black figures walking towards us. As they got closer we realized they were Mexican Marines patrolling the beach...apparently we were about a mile away from a turtle breeding sanctuary and the Marines were there patrolling it. They were all carrying M16s.
