Photo Of The Day and we have great pictures where soldiers from the Swedish Home Guard and U.S. Army Green Berets train together. It is easy to lay the eyes on the Swedish Heckler & Koch G3 clone called Ak4. As you can see these have the Aimpoint CS red dot sights and stocks made by Spuhr, the Ak4 C version. Note how different they have set their stocks. The pictures are taken somewhere in Sweden in November 2020.
