I am looking for information (pros/cons) on the HK G3 variants currently available.
Can HK parts kits be used on the CETME?
Who makes the best american HK receiver or better yet Who makes the best HK G3 clone in .308?

Thanks.

The CETME model C isn't really a clone of the HKG3. They were developed simultaneously and parted just before the designs were finalized. Unfortunately, they parted far enough back that only a few parts interchange, such as the P-grip and magazine. There may be a few others, but the list is short.

The Century CETME, built on the cast stainless steel receiver is probably the better of the newly made versions.

The best HK-91 clones were recently made by Interport and available through AA-OK. They used a HK licensed receiver, made by FMP of Portugal and assembled by Special Weapons.

The latter Special Weapons SW-3's are essentially the same as the Interports, using the same FMP receiver, but the earlier SW-3's used the same cast stainless receiver that, with modifications, is now being used on the CETME clones.

SW has been advertising a complete HK-91 clone kit, sans firing pin so as not to be a complete gun, for $500. These are supposed to be new or near new parts. You'd have to have someone like RDTS or Machine Gun Kelly's put it together for you.
