Springfield Armory G3In the late 1980′s Springfield Armory imported G3 clones made under license in Greece. The Greeks fielded the G3 rifle and had the tooling, training and German supervisors from Heckler & Koch overseeing the production of these firearms. When Springfield Armory began importing semi-automatic civilians models into the U.S from Greece, a small batch of about 500 G3 marked examples arrived. Heckler & Koch were not too happy about the G3 designation and told Springfield Armory to change it, thus creating the SAR-3 and later SAR-8 rifles. (GRH) -- source link
