Denmark
  • Gv M/75: Variant leased from the German Bundeswehr / German government by the Danish government to replace the aging M1 Garands. Originally manufactured by either Rheinmetall or HK for the German Bundeswehr. The Gv M/75 rifles are basically G3's with the old style straight cocking tube as opposed to the later FS (Freischwinger, "Cantilevered") variant. The Rheinmetall versions lack an external selector lever and can be converted from semi-automatic to full automatic (or vice versa) by the use of a special tool.
Norway
  • AG-3: Norwegian G3A5 variant produced by Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk, with the given name Automatgevær 3. A total of 253,497 units were produced for the Norwegian Armed Forces from 1967 to 1974. The Norwegian AG-3 differs from the original G3; it has a buttstock that is approx. 2 cm longer, the bolt carrier has a serrated thumb groove to aid in silent bolt closure, it features an all-metal cocking handle and a different bayonet mount. On April 11, 2007, it was announced that the AG-3 would be replaced by the Heckler & Koch HK416, in all military branches except for certain groups of the Home Guard.
  • AG-3F1: An AG-3 with a retractable stock as on G3A4. Produced by Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk. A retractable stock was required by certain groups of soldiers within the Norwegian Armed Forces, primarily vehicle crews with limited space inside, particularly where a quick disembarkment from such a vehicle is required. All versions of the AG-3 have the ability to attach a 40 mm HK79 grenade launcher.
  • AG-3F2: An improvement of the AG-3F1, featuring B&T Picatinny rails on the receiver, as well as a RIS handguard. On the AG-3F2, Aimpoint red dot sights were mounted onto the receiver top rail for faster quick acquisition, and easier aiming in low-light conditions.

Sweden
  • Ak 4: Swedish-made version of the G3A3, with a buttstock that is approx. 2 cm longer, the bolt carrier has a serrated thumb groove to aid in silent bolt closure and fitted with a heavy buffer for higher number of rounds fired before failure. The rifles were manufactured from 1965 to 1970 by both Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfabrik and Husqvarna Vapenfabrik and from 1970 until the end of production in 1985 – exclusively by Gevärsfabrik in Eskilstuna. All Ak 4:s are adapted to mount the M203 grenade launcher. Sweden has supplied unmodified Ak 4:s to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
  • Ak 4OR: Optiskt Riktmedel, optical sight. This model is fitted with a Hensoldt 4×24 telescopic sight mounted via a HK claw mount. During a few years it was not issued but it is now again in use by the Hemvärnet - Nationella skyddsstyrkorna ("Swedish Home Guard").
  • Ak 4B: In this updated version the iron sights have been removed and replaced with an Aimpoint CS red-dot reflex sight mounted on a Picatinny rail. The rail is welded onto the rifle. Used by Hemvärnet-Nationella skyddsstyrkorna ("Swedish Home Guard").
In 2015 the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration, FMV, procured a new modular handguard and a new adjustable stock for the AK4; both items will be manufactured and supplied by the Swedish company Spuhr i Dalby AB.

  • Ak 4D: DMR weapon for sharpshooting in 2016. New handguard and adljustable stock. With a Hensoldt 4×24 telescopic sight.
Iran
  • DIO G3-A3 Bullpup: Iranian bullpup variant of the G3.
Pakistan
  • G3P4: Pakistan Ordnance Factory designation for license-produced G3A4 rifles.
  • G3S: A version of G3P3 with a shorter barrel.
  • G3M-Tactical: A light weight version of G3 rifle with polymer body and shorter barrel.
United Kingdom
  • FR Ordnance MC51 Machine Carbine: Produced by the UK firm FR Ordnance International Ltd. The MC51 weighs 3.1 kg (6.8 lb), has a folded overall length of 625 mm (24.6 in), a barrel length of only 230 mm (9.1 in), which produces a muzzle velocity of approx. 690 m/s (2,263.8 ft/s) and a muzzle energy of 2215 J. Another UK-based company called Imperial Defence Services Ltd. absorbed FR Ordnance and continues to market the MC51 standard variant.
Specialized G3 types
  • G3TGS: This is simply a G3 with a 40 mm HK79 under-barrel grenade launcher. TGS stands for Tragbares Granat System ("portable grenade system").
  • G3A3ZF: This is a rifle issued with a claw-and rail scope bracket and a 4 × 24 mm Hensoldt scope. The ZF stands for Zielfernrohr or "telescopic sight".
  • G3SG/1: An accurized variant of the G3. The "SG" stands for Scharfschützengewehr, or "sharpshooting rifle". The rifles were individually selected from the production line for their accuracy and then modified. A Zeiss 1.5-6× variable power telescopic sight was added using a HK claw mount attached to the receiver. The stock was extended slightly compared to the standard G3 fixed stock and comes with a heavy, dual-stage buffer and adjustable cheek rest. A special set trigger group was added for a trigger pull of 1 lb. Automatic fire was retained.
  • MSG3: A variant featuring the newer scope mount that is found on only a few of the Heckler & Koch rifles, as compared to the more conventional claw mounts, though the claw mounting points remain on the receiver. This newer scope mount does not allow the use of the open sights with the mount in place, as is the case with the more conventional claw mount.
  • PSG-1: A free-floating barrel semi-auto only version of the G3 with numerous other upgrades and such to meet the necessities of police sniper units. This rifle is famous for its accuracy and comfort, but infamous for its price and inability to be deployed by military units because some upgrades made the rifle too fragile.
  • MSG-90: A somewhat cheaper version of the PSG-1 modified for military applications.
  • HK 32: An experimental variant of the rifle chambered for the Soviet 7.62×39mm M43 cartridge. It was never adopted by any country.[10]
Other manufacturers
  • PTR 91 Series: Additionally, JLD (now PTR Industries) started manufacturing semi-automatic copies of the HK G3 called the PTR 91 in the United States. They used tooling from the FMP arms factory in Portugal to build the rifles.
  • Century International Arms: Century Arms builds a clone of the G3 under the model designation of C308.
  • SAR-3: Semi-automatic copy of HK-91 made by EBO in Greece and imported into the United States by Springfield Armory.
    • SAR-8: Post-ban version of SAR-3, modified to comply with import restrictions.
  • Pakistan Ordnance Factories produced under license.

Or perhaps you stop believing everything you hear?

Specially when it comes to your so called military industrial complex .. which is stuck where Pakistan left it...

Even your "BOF" was originally POF (Pakistan Ordinance Factories--- even the name is plagiarised) Ghazipur..

Ghazipur is the name of that area long before Pakistan was founded... jahangirnagar is the old name of Dhaka... plagiarism?

I know its the name of the town..

I mentioned it .. coz it was once an offshoot of Pak ordinance factories, Wah (its located in "Wah").

Who destroyed it? Not Pak army... because the manager of Ghazipur along of West Pakistani workers and staff (including biharis) were held hostage and many were killed by its bengali staff.

Destroyed in war. Nobody is saying Pakistanis did it or not.

Shouldn't have gone about killing civilians and n the first place. This country wouldn't be Bangladesh now then.
