The first thing we do is
inspect your G3 kit and ensure that all the parts
are functional or can be made so. Many of these G3 kits are pretty worn, so
this is essential to the build process.
Then we move the receiver stub from the barrel, and remove the cocking tube
from the stub. We clean up the cocking tube so that it can be reused, if
necessary.
We remove the trunnion, if necessary, and the front sight from the barrel.
We spend considerable time
making the G3 trigger pack "ATF happy", that is
to say, we weld in a pin to restrict the upward movement of the rear of the
trigger, cut a notch in the front of the trigger cage, weld in a shelf there
and clean up the assembly so that it looks more correct.
The next operation is to
make the lower receiver or "trigger housing" ATF
happy, we can accomplish this in two ways. 1. We can mill and cut the
trigger housing so that it resembles the standard HK91 "clip on"
lower, and
weld a shelf inside to fit onto the semi auto receiver. or, 2. we can widen
the front area of the trigger housing and install a fake pushpin, so that
even though the trigger housing is a clip on, it will appear to have the
third pushpin, like the original select-fire rifle.
We also modify the trigger housing symbology at this point. Either by
brazing in the "E" and making the transition from "S" to
"F" a rather long
one, or by installing a pin below the "E" setting and soldering in
the "E"
to read "F" and soldering in the "F" entirely. As with the
above operation,
it's your choice.
