Greek Atomic Stalingrad rifle/Sturmongrel G3

[Greg Bell]

Hey guys,

Sorry for the click-bait title. I have been enjoying my Greek SAR-8. It started life as a Bush/Clinton Era abortion. It was converted at some point prior to my ownership. But I have put a bunch of doo-dads on her that have improved her handiness.

1. Spuhr optics rail. Pretty good, but can be a bear to mount.
2. Obviously I have a 3x Steiner prism scope. Very nice, reasonably low-cost.
3. Spuhr forend rail. Nice piece, but honestly I wish it was just a regular mlock setup so I could easily mont other stuff.
4.Timney Trigger. Very nice! Gives the gun a very nice trigger that you don't have to fight like the factory setup.
5. Magpul grip module and safety. The module is meh. The safety is AMAZING. Definitely worth the upgrade from the ww2 ergos of the G3.
6. Vtac light mount and old Surefire flashlight. Outdated but still useful.

I am probably going to order another Spuhr Stock to help with Chinweld.

The gun shoots a nice, steady 2 moa with 149grain FMJ surplus. Amazing gun.

Here it is in an earlier setup. The FH was ghetto threaded on (original barrel was cut down and had no threading with cheesy Clinton era faux device). One day I was shooting the gun and the FH disappeared into the aether. My gunsmith nicely threaded it for a Ar-10 FH which I have now.

I stupidly sold my Spuhr Stock to a buddy who put a very nice variable scope on his G3. Now I need to fork out moolah for another.

My buddy had a Greek HK91 clone years ago and it was a fantastic rifle as it shot anything we put through it and was pretty accurate. Does the Spuhr stock help with the recoil? I remember that thing had more recoil than I thought it would but not terrible. I like how you kitted out the rifle.

The Spuhr stock is more comfortable so it definitely feels like it improves recoil. You can also change out to a Heavy buffer to sop up some extra recoil.
