Sold as a set (as pictured).

Own one of the rarest variants of the iconic G3! We don't expect to ever see these kits again!
These were used extensively in Africa fighting Portugals Colonian wars about 60 years ago.
All kits are complete, minus the barrel (available separately), and receiver.
The M/61 is the first roller locked battle rifle issued by Portugal.
Later they issued the G-3 that we are familiar with today (designated M/63 by Portugal).
The M/61 was produced by H&K in Germany, and features early parts such as the metal handguard with folding attached bipod, wood stock, early 1st type flash hider, and flip type rear sight, showing the lineage of the early CETME.

Some kits may have matching numbers on some or all of the following parts; buttstock ferrule, fire control group housing, bolt and carrier (no selection).

Kits have been sorted to include the following early parts:
    - Wood buttstock (may have early or late buttpad).
    - Stamped metal hand guard.
    - Integrated folding Bipod Assembly.
    - Early Cocking tube.
    - Early flip over rear sight.
    - Early style fire control housing & safety.
    - Early style flash hider.
    - Oval front sight hood/assembly.

Cocking tube will have dings, dents and may require some adjustment to be fully functional.
Wood stock will have scratches, chips, dents or scrapes, and other wear from military service, some have a small crack.
Rare metal handguard will have dents / bends from service use , as will the bipod legs and may need to be reshaped to fit.
The hand guard does have the attaching spring still mounted.
The steel frame piece that is riveted onto the front end of the hand guard may be separated in the center with its two mount points bent inwards (see pictures).
There are photos posted showing this because many of them are that way.
Like everything with building a H&K rifle kit, skill with sheet metal and the ability to weld is required.
May show additional signs of surface rust, wear, marring, grime, etc...
