Description
Product Overview
The Century Arms CA-3 G3 is a semi-automatic, roller-delayed blowback rifle built in the HK G3 pattern and configured with a mix of original-surplus features and American-made PTR components. It uses an 18-inch barrel with 5/8x24 threads and a birdcage-style flash hider, along with G3-style adjustable front and rotary aperture rear sights. This is a military-surplus-style .308 / 7.62x51 NATO rifle configuration that keeps classic battle rifle ergonomics and handling while using modern components where applicable.
Key Features
- 7.62x51 NATO chambering for reliable compatibility with commonly available ammunition
- Roller-delayed blowback action for the classic G3-pattern cycling feel
- 18-inch barrel with 5/8x24 threads and a birdcage-style flash hider
- G3-style sights with adjustable front and rotary aperture rear for consistent aiming
- 20+1 capacity with a detachable magazine for field-friendly use
- Optics compatible using an HK-style claw mount
If you want a G3-pattern semi-auto rifle that stays faithful to surplus-era configuration while benefitting from modern PTR-built parts, the CA-3 is built for that purpose.

Very pleased with the...
Very pleased with the Century Arms CA-3. Surplus parts on the rifle are all in fairly good condition with just the right amount of wear and tear to give it that battle worn appearance. Only have about a hundred rounds through it so far, but I have yet to experience any malfunction or failure to fire. The team at Bud's made the entire purchasing process simple and straightforward. My order was processed and shipped very quickly. If you are on the fence about getting a retro .308 battle rifle, you will be hard pressed to find a better or more affordable option.

Initial impression is it's really cool. I don't know if it matters to everyone but just be aware it's not parts matched. Mine has bits of rust here and there as well that I'll have to clean off. Nothing heavy, must minor surface stuff. Didn't realize how expensive 308 is so haven't shot it yet.
