The Century Arms CA-3 rifle in .308 Win/7.62 NATO with a telescoping G3 stock (brand part no. RI5601A-X) is a semi-automatic battle rifle built on a roller-delayed blowback system, using military-surplus-sourced G3 parts alongside new American-made components. Century Arms cuts a 1:10-inch twist into the new 18-inch American-made barrel and feeds the rifle from a 20-round magazine. The collapsible G3 stock and handguard come from original surplus stock, and an adjustable front sight pairs with a rotary aperture rear sight. A new American-made trunnion and A2-style front sight base complete the build. Among battle-rifle semi-auto rifles, the CA-3 favors collectors and shooters who want the classic G3 roller-delayed system in a .308 platform.
