To me, the H&K G3 20 round straight magazine is one of the sexiest ammunition feeding devices on the planet. I mean, peel back that brown anti-corrosion wrapping paper, wipe it down with a fine terry cloth sprayed with a hint of Hoppe’s, dress it up with some surplus battle rifle ammo and you’ve found your own little slice of heaven. What? Don’t tell me that certain stamped magazines don’t move you the same way. In an unlikely combination, Monarch Arms is offering a unique AR10 receiver set that accepts these hot G3 magazines.

With surplus G3 magazines available starting at $4-$5 I am willing to bet Monarch Arms will sell quite a few of these hybrid receiver sets. A company representative on Instagram stated that magazines will drop- free rather than a more traditional rock in/out paddle release seen on the G3 and HK91.

Pre-order pricing is set at $550 with delivery scheduled for sometime in October.
