My Search for Nambian/SA G3 Furniture

[PaPM85]

Hello all! I've been a fan of the G3/HK91 for some time now. Recently, I've discovered that the South Africans worked with Choate manufacturing to design furniture for the G3 and not only does it look awesome, it slightly enhances the functionality of the rifle as well. I've decided I must have a set, regardless of the cost, for my PTR-91. Only problem is, I can't find a single set for sale anywhere. Are they really that rare? Seems like some plastic made in bulk quantity for South African/Nambian military would be easier to come by. Any advice or lines on where to aquire a SA handguard, stock or both would be greatly appreciated.

What you seek is rare and stupid expensive. Once you've found your unicorn you may also find that it adds pounds to the rifle and almost two inches to the length of pull. At least, it feels like it. I had it, couldn't wait to sell it.

Unfortunately I don't have an account on HKpro. I looked and didn't see that anyone had luck finding a set on there.

For me, it's 100% about the aesthetic and cool factor. If I wanted the G3 to be a good shooter, I'd install a spuhr stock or buy a modern DMR

I just had to have a set.
Back when they were everywhere
Installed it shot maybe 20 rounds took it off and sold the whole set.

Where are all these sets now?

Don’t know
I found mine at a gunshow if I remember correctly I paid $150.
And after I tried it I sold it for $175.
They look really good but they are very uncomfortable to shoot.
This coming from a guy that has a 14 3/4 inch pull on most weapons

I recall seeing a full set on GB a while ago. That sold for about $800.00 I think. A handguard only was up there more recently for $350.00 or so.

Good luck.

I decided to buy an AC Unity handguard for $80 instead. Looking for the HK bipod now if anyone has a line on one. I guess if I ever go to SA I'll keep my eye out for furniture sets.

Many of these sets are in deceased guy's gun safes or storage boxes which their widows and children know nothing about.

Example, I'm 67, only survived a heart attack in 2017 via about three Miracles that day.
Nobody knew that I had a 98-100% blocked Widowmaker artery, because my cardiologist (--three days Before the Myo. Infarction...--) had no treadmill avail that day, and my Resting Pulse was Fine.

Anyway, thousands of single and married guys have so much unique stuff that their surviving family know nothing about, unless a long written paper list is kept in the open.

I sold my last one for about $500 bucks to Larry Vickers and this was back in 2008.

They are stupid expensive and dumbly rare.

Choate and others would make benjies just making another one.

I also felt like I had to have one….so I hunted and searched and finally located the HG….but never realized that there was a Stock or PG for it (duh).

So, whatever….the HGs looks pretty cool I suppose.
