When Estonia received a large influx of small arms from Sweden they got both regular AK4 rifles (Sweden's version of the G3) and scoped DMR models. The standard Estonian infantry squad had nine riflemen and one designated marksman, and the scoped G3s became a large part of the DMR armament as the AK4 TP ("Täitsa Pask" - Precision Rifle), replacing the rather disastrous M14TP. Some time between about 2004 and 2010, Estonia updated these rifles with new Magpul stocks and QD Versapod bipods. The scopes were the original Hensoldt 4x scopes used on most G3 variants worldwide. These have since been replaced by new LMT R20L DMRs.

Thanks to the Supply Battalion of the Estonian Defense Forces Support Command for giving me access to film this rifle!

looks like a heavyyyy boatanchor. but the stock has to be way better than the hk standard. those sure are too short for me.

You’d think Estonia would have chosen less expensive standard G3 bipods rather than the versa pod + handguard modification
