What can you guys tell me about these?
I'm considering getting it and turning around and trading for a standard 7.62 rifle.

Maybe i'll hold on to it, I just dont know much about them, figured I'd start here.

Also a lot of the sar-3 had the crappy fire control groups in them that did not strike the firing pins squarly, thus breaking them or rounding them off. That is definatly worth looking at , along with the normal romy issues of canted sights and gas blocks.
And again read the link nalioth posted as linx has been in the romy game for some time now, and knows what he is talking about.

http://www.redstararms.com/ makes a replacement FCG for the SAR-3 and if you get the rifle, I recommend you get the replacement FCG.

On the home page, click on the AK-47 link on the left. It will take you to the FCG page.

Mine is a 2000 model and is one of my favorite AK's. Two things that must be done to make a SAR-3 run: 1) As other have said the RSA FCG is a must. 2) Don't screw with anything but Wieger mags.

I could kick myself in the A$$ for not picking up a SAR 3 back when they were $239 and change!

I passed, and decided to start looking for a siaga to do the conversion to.
