A random Youtube video posted by the German army, for the mechanically inclined.

The clip is dated 1970, but I think the footage is actually from earlier in the 1960s. It's an 6-min. demo film, showing the production stages of the G3 back then.

The narration is German, but if you're at all familiar with the rifle, you'll easily recognize the parts and understand what's going on.

Neat film, somewhere I think I still have an old h&K sales video for their commercial models. I need to find it and see if I can get it put on a cd. As I remember it emphasized their military origins and ability to survive rough conditions
 
in the mid seven'ts when i was an arizona deputy we had a couple g 3's. then they traded them of for m16's,a damn shame.
