First Look: Century Arms CA-3

First Look: Century Arms CA-3

Century Arms has just released the CA-3, a 7.62x51mm NATO G3 rifle built using original surplus and new-production parts.

Battle rifle enthusiasts continue to debate over what the best platform is, and they don’t seem any closer to reaching an answer today than they did years ago. Whatever side of the argument you find yourself on, having more options on the market is something that everyone should appreciate. The latest is one that will appeal to the roller-delayed blowback camp, and it’s called the Century Arms CA-3.

Chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO, the CA-3 is essentially a rebuilt H&K G3-pattern rifle made using surplus military parts from Portugal alongside new-production American-made parts from PTR. Interestingly, PTR bought its G3 tooling from FMP in Portugal back in the day, so in a way all parts on the CA-3 were presumably made on the same machines albeit in different decades and under different management. When the rifle was announced at SHOT Show 2024 a Century rep said that the company purchased all the remaining stock of G3 rifles from the Portuguese Army, so their supply of surplus kits will hopefully last quite a while.

Otherwise, the CA-3 is about what you would expect of a rebuilt G3. It features original surplus furniture, sights, trigger group, bolt and carrier, and a PTR-made receiver, barrel, trunnion, flash hider, charging handle, hammer and sear. Each rifle ships with one 20-round magazine and the barrels are threaded 5/8×24.

MSRP for the Century Arms CA-3 is $999.99 and they’re available now.
