Sorry, roller lockers kick much harder than their gas operated brothers. I got rid of my HK91 for a high-end piston AR10 that shoots far softer and doesn’t need to be made of heavy gauge steel to take the pounding of a G3 bolt carrier. G3/HK91 is the AK of the western world, loves steel case, works every time you pull the trigger, great magazines, but it’s just not as refined as modernized AR10 type rifles like those from KAC, POF, and SIG. If you said I need to shoot my rifle after being run over by a truck, I’ll take the HK91, otherwise it’s the AR10.

You know what’s funny. I have been following Paul for so long, when the thumbnail pic of this G3 showed up in the email, I was like, “That looks like a Paul Markel gun.” Sure enough, here we are. Man I must’ve worked on thousands of those at Century Arms when I worked there from 99-02. Both the G3 and Cetmes. Great article as usual Paul.

I have a HK 93, Love the Rifle but find the clatter of the bolt a bit distracting compared to an AR. However, it is no where near as finicky as the AR with ammo
