Would a 100% factory (pre-89 ban) FMP G3 be considered a clone or an original?

Clone. FMP is not HK.

How about Original Clone? :D

Yup, not German HK sadly...still pretty decent gun

Maybe not an original clone (CETME) but a very good one if a G3S (or maybe XG3S) as all were imported 1989.

made on German HK tooling/machines.......its as close to a HK as they come, except not made in Germany.

I have a greek/Ebo Spingfield SAR8 and IMOP its as good or better than my german made HK's

I would rank them(FMP or EBo) as closer to HK than a PTR.

That works for me.
