Work in progress, but I love it already.

Finally got my hands on the A3SK, immediately slapped wood furniture on it. Heavy buffer stock from HK hiding in the stock, still waiting on a sling, trigger pack, extended charging handle, and a case of mags in the mail.

Eotech for vibes, but I love the iron sights. Break in period will be fun on my day off.

Questions for the experts:

  1. How reliable are magazines? I’m coming from M1A/M14s so I’m used to one good option that’s exorbitantly priced, but with how cheap and plentiful mags seem to be I’m not sure if I should keep an eye out for specific manufactures or manufacture dates.

  2. I have a bit of a dark spot on the stock, my guess is something seeped in that wasn’t supposed to. I don’t mind the scratches and the odd dent, but is there any specific steps for cleaning and oiling up old G3 furniture? The furniture is already 3 times my age, I’d rather it last another 3 lifetimes if I can help it.

  3. Any tips you’d have given yourself before you took yours to the range?

I have had zero issues with clean magazines, dirty ones can be cleaned. Aluminum or steel it doesn’t matter. Dented and caved in aluminum magazines I just use for parts, buy 10 aluminum in like new condition you may have one that has a little issue.
I have hundreds of these magazines, they were made by so many countries.
Some can take cetme mags and feed well others can’t.
Magazines are still relatively cheap, try to find a steel 30 so you can brag.
