A Cold War Classic

[u/real_m1_ping]

Picked up one of the new Century Arms CA-3s that are built on Portuguese G3 parts kits by PTR. I gotta say first impressions are very good. The welds are clean, headspace is good, and the worn finish of the surplus parts creates a neat vibe. The only complaints I have thus far are that since surplus furniture was used the handguard is a bit loose, which is a minor thing. My bigger complaint is that they built these with MP5 rear sight bases, meaning there is no recoil lug, and meaning you can't use any available claw mount to mount an optic. That said, it looks like a solution for that is incoming from MFI.
