Said to have been developed at the request of West German police units following the Munich Massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics, where police units lacked the precision shooting ability to effectively neutralize the terrorists to prevent the hostages from being killed. H&K was commissioned to create a high capacity, highly accurate, semi-automatic rifle for military and law enforcement use. Based on the H&K G3 series of rifles with a 26 inch, heavyweight, free floating, stainless steel barrel, no provisions for standard fixed sights, low noise bolt closing device (similar to the forward assist on the AR-15). The receiver has integral scope bases with Hensoldt PSG1 6x42 illuminated reticle scope, and PSG1 pattern trigger pack with adjustable shoe. The magazine well is correctly marked "PSG1 D 0094" and dated "ID" (1983), contoured grip with adjustable palm shelf, and fixed polymer buttstock with adjustable comb and length of pull. The bolt carrier is properly serrated for the closure device, with "PSG1" marked bolt head. Includes nylon sling and a metal storage case with fitted interior, containing an HK Loga system tripod, sling, three extra magazines, cleaning tools, and small tools.
Excellent, retaining 95% original black finish with limited handling marks, scuffs on the underside of the barrel, and crisp grip texturing. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent with untested illumination, clear optics, and a crisp reticle. Case and accessories are very fine to excellent. Don't miss out on your opportunity to get your hands on this rare sniper rifle!
