I've heard that the CA G3's have a nasty habit of the stocks breaking (the threads stripping, I think), that their hopup drum is loose, resulting in backoff; and that the upper reciever is a PITA to separate from the lower. The stock and hopup issues are really the only things keeping me from a CA G3A3 instead of a capitalist M4. Are they easily fixable? I'd much rather have a G3; I find them incredibly sexah.

If you go to the reader reviews section of the forums, they have a multipage discussion on the gun.

the idea for the elcan came from me thinking what wasn't been used on a G3 and a scope i liked. and tada the elcan came to being.

 

the guns a little front heavy but the weight of the elcan does help balance the gun out a little.

 

next comes the internal upgrades i'll have her shotin 380 in 2-3 months.

Can I just ask what outer barrel people are using on their G3's that brings the flash hider flush to the front sight?

 

I can't find a reference to it anywhere.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

It's just the MC-51 flashhider on the end instead of the whole G3 outer barrel.

 

I'm don't think you can just take the flashhider off the end of the G3 outer barrel and use it like that, but the MC-51 comes with it flush like that.

 

Incidentally, I'm trying to get hold of longer outer barrel for my MC-51, cannot find a G3 outer barrel anywhere, had to resort to the HK51 barrel, which I'm not so keen on.
