There are 4 SARs. 3 are Greek HK contract, one is a US clone.
1. The SAR 3 (basically identical to the 91)
2. The SAR 3/8 overstamp (same rifle but with a 8 stamped over the 3).
3. The SAR 8 (thumbhole stock and pressed on fake flash hider)
4. The SAR 8 (non Greek production, aluminum receiver)
The SAR 3 and 3/8 overstamp have a removable flash hider. Only the thumbhole stock SAR 8 is pressed on.
Since you are talking about a paddle mag and refinish anyway, might as well use a SAR 8 if you can find one and have the pinned on flash hider removed and replaced with the correct one.
Of course price and what becomes available will be your main criteria.
