Where to find furniture for my SAR 3/8

[crazy11alpha]

I have a Greek EBO Springfield SAR 3/8, I've included some pictures, and I have a few questions:
1) Are EBO SAR 3/8, HK91, and G3 parts interchangeable?
2) What is the deal with the muzzle brake?
3) Where can I buy accessories for my rifle ( e.g., stock, handguard, pistol grip, bi-pod )?
4) Does anyone have any tips, advice, recommendations, or general knowledge that they could share regarding this rifle?
I have heard good things about the people in this forum, how they're incredibly knowledgeable, so any information would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!!

1.) Yes.
2.) Yes but factory HK parts will be the most readily available.
3.) RTG Parts is my first choice. Gatewood Supply. HK Parts if you are independently wealthy.

Is your rifle a SAR 3/8 over stamp? Close up pic of the receiver would be great.

Yes, my rifle is a SAR 3/8 over stamp. You should be able to zoom in on any part of the rifle.. Select the pic of the rifle touch your screen with thumb and index finger as if your pinching then spread index index finger and thumb apart to magnify and back together to bring back to original size.

What's a "touch screen"?

So the over stamp guns were imported in '89? Calling Tony!!

No one really realized it at the time, but Springfield was importing some damn good guns in the late '80s. Both the SAR 3 and the SAR 48 kind of flew under the radar with U.S. shooters.

I read that based on the serial number on my rifle, 07119, I believe it came into U.S in early 90's. These rifles definitely have an interesting history to them.

That fits into the range of AGG (Tony's) data base. 05839 through 08984 (SAR3-8).

What furniture are you wanting for it?

MAC has a video on the SAR's.

Here I am.
SAR3-8 imported 1989- early 1994--- SAR 3 imported after the Bush Executive Order of 03-14-89.
Purported requirements were:

1. thumbhole stock (BISHOP, later BELL & CARSON)
2. pinned flash hider (though barrel still threaded)
3. “Accurizing Kits” were available (A2 stock, pistol grip, and HK-type flashhider)

Agreed on the other Springfield Armory imports--- G3, SAR3, SAR48, M1A.

I would like to find wood furniture for it but it seems to be easier said than done..

 

[ORL-LLC]

I may have a set of WOOD for that.
Will send someone to look and post pics.

[ORL-LLC]

Found the wood, but not the set that still had the metal parts. I'll keep looking.

Not sure if this is what your are interested in, but if so make me an offer and I will post in in the Exchange area for you.

A dark story.

Been exploring the site, and obviously late to the party. After reading the above I did not realize how "rare" (if I can use that word) the SAR3 no over stamp is. Only 325 of them?

I do have a SAR3 no over stamp that I purchased years ago. Good info on this site and page as I am looking for some "stuff" for mine as well.

 

[MMissile]

Somewhere, I have a sealed Springfield bag, with the "conversion-kit". I'll see if I can find and post it...

Welcome to the site--- less produced than the G3 (secondary to HK lawsuit v. SA), but the G3 is more collectible because of the marking.
