[tentacle]

Hello all.

You can smell the milk on me when it comes to airsoft; I'm a total noob. However, I have used and fired a real G3 during two years of my life when I served in the Portuguese military. I don't recall the variant but suspect it was a G3A3 because of the caracteristic green plastic stock and green plastic barrel. Back then I had plenty of other things on my mind and wasn't really interested in details such as model variants; I just knew it as "the G3".

I began to love it the moment I fired this weapon and I (we all did) fire it regularly both semi-auto and full-auto. It felt great to handle, dismantle, mount, etc. It weighed about 4.5Kg, if memory serves, and we did everything with it, carried it everywhere, trained with it and paraded with it. We used it principally as an assault rifle but would from time to time train sniper with it. It was very accurate and not once did mine jam up on me all the time I had it. I get all excited just remebering...

Anyway, I've just been turned-on to the sport of Airsoft and have a G3-SG1 on order. I know I'm not going to be satisfied with the plastic so of course I'll be getting as many metal parts as are made for the SG1. Which brings me to a question I'd like to ask you guys who know more about this than I do: which metal parts ARE available for the G3-SG1 ?

Based on what I've read here in the forums I've read references to a total metal body. However, I've only been able to find places that sell the metal receiver and cocking tube, both fore and aft. Where can I get a complete metal kit ? Thanks.
