What's an STG48?

[Guinny_Ire]

Is this the precursor to the STG58? And how much would this rifle cost if I were to purchase it?

No critter that I'm aware of by that name.

A typo perhaps?

[Guinny_Ire]

That's what I was wondering. How much do the STG58 kits go for? Is that the $359 kit that Harlan has?

Yep. I think I've seen them listed for a little less elsewhere, DSA perhaps for $295 in EXC condition.

Thanks. I realized I was being lazy after I posted and looked over at FAC. I'll have to rummage thru DSA

Could you possibly mean a Springfield SAR48?? Like this heavy barrel FA one??

M&A Parts (http://www.m-aparts.com) has them for $225 in good condition and $350 for handselect. If link doesn't work, ph. (847) 550-8246.

Why the designation of 48 in SAR48?

I dunno, but either the post-ban SAR48 or the .223 version is called the SAR4800.

I forgot which was which...

IIRC the Springfield SAR8 is the Greek version of the G3/HK91.

Is the water muddy enough?:D

I got one of the DSA STG-58 kits. It's very nice! It's a crying shame that they cut the recievers on these.

SAR4800 = .223 rifle.
