FNH USA A3G FBI Sniper Rifle

FNH USA SPR AG3 

Actually built by FN’s US branch, the A3G (A3 Government, sometimes called the “FBI Sniper Rifle”) is based on the Winchester Model 70 (the Winchester name is now owned by US Repeating Arms, which licensed the Model 70 design to FN for this venture). It is, however, a heavily-modified Model 70, with a synthetic stock, fluted barrel (which is actually a modified M-240 machinegun barrel), rifling designed specifically for 168-grain bullets or lighter, an adjustable cheekpiece and stock length, and a MIL-STD-1913 rail for the mounting of optics. Though the use of a modified machinegun barrel, with a chromed inner lining as the FNH USA A3G is, is not normally conducive to precision shooting, the FNH USA A3G Sniper Rifle is a very accurate as well as robust weapon, partially due to a free-floating barrel, and superb design. It’s a heavy weapon, but very stable. Due to be introduced to mainstream FBI use in mid-2005, the A3G does not exist.
