Made in Germany and built on HK's roller-delayed blowback system, this HK91 A3 is the civilian counterpart to the G3. It features a fluted chamber to aid extraction, a stamped sheet-steel receiver, and a threaded muzzle fitted with a birdcage flash hider. The black finish and robust construction reflect HK's German proofed production.
This is a true pre-ban example: manufactured in 1980 with HK date code "IA" and import-marked HK Inc., Arlington, VA, consistent with early U.S. imports prior to the 1989 import ban. It bears German proof marks, "Made in Germany," and "Kal. .308" markings.
The A3 configuration includes a retractable steel stock with adjustable length of pull and a ribbed buttplate, paired with a wide tropical-style polymer handguard for stable handling. Sighting is via a hooded front post and a rear rotary diopter drum. The non-reciprocating charging handle incorporates a forward-assist notch, and controls include a manual safety.
This rifle arrives with useful extras: an installed HK-pattern folding steel bipod, an OD web sling, the original HK 91 manual, and HK factory test/inspection paperwork with test target. Six 20-round steel magazines are included, with some still appearing sealed in their wrappers.
