Good bye G3, hello H&K 416

Maybe they'll keep some for marksman rifles and snipers and just melt the rest for metal and keep the ammo if they adopt a new rifle that uses the 7.62 round.

It is true that some G-3's are refitted to become sniper rifles but mostly, the Turkish armed forces prefer Accuracy International PM, Sako TRG-22/42, SVD, and also AMR's (Anti Material Rifle) Such as Gepard, McMillan Tac-50 and Barrett M82. The reason for such diversity is extreme weather conditions. They need their equipment operational at -25F.

Maybe we'll be seeing some parts kits here in the US.
