Greetings. Does anyone have one of JLD Enterprise's G3 knockoffs with that ever-so-cool collapsing stock?
(www.jldenter.com)
I got to play with an Iranian-made G3 with collapsing stock at the range at Camp Ramadi, and thought it was outstanding: surprisingly controllable even in full auto, and though menacing looking, the stock wasn't uncomfortable or akward at all. Functioned great despite being a cheap knockoff with junk magazines and ammo of unknown origin. It belonged to an EOD gunny I "talked guns" with, who took it out on his EOD missions, as he'd only been issued an M9.
So, if anyone has one of these, I'd love to hear any comments about it. I'm a bit concerned about the 16" barrel's muzzle flash/roar, and the "heavy target barrel" JLD advertises doesn't sound conducive to portability. Plus, on Gunbroker the standard G3 runs $600, the KP runs $1200, which is a lot of cash for a collapsing stock. But the gasless design is fascinating, sights are good (and unlike the FAL, both front and rear are on the _upper_ receiver where they belong), and this short/collapsing variant looks pretty handy. Thanks for any info, or pics to drool over. Take care,
