Getting a Hk 91 and HK 93 is this a good price?

[legion3]

I have always wanted an HK91 since I was small and then a HK93 as I got older and came to appreciate the 5.56.

Well I have an opportunity to purchase both, and I have the cash! Both are in very good to excellent shape.

The 91 is a IA Code A2, with Green furniture, bipod, Karl Kaps scope, claw mount, and scope case, (2) 40 round mags and (20) 20 round mags with the mag holders.

The 93 is an IC code A3 with retractable stock, bipod, bolt deflector and carry handle, with an HK hard case, and (6) 40 round mags, (1) 30 round mag and (3) 25 round mags.

Private sale, no shipping involved.

Wants $2800 for the 93 and $2500 for the 91 - would take $5000 for both OTD.

I am leaning towards doing it, what do you think? anything to look out for as a pre buy inspection?

Thanks!

That ain't to bad, since HK mags are pretty spendy all by themselves.

Check the normal things, bolt gap, crown, general wear. Do a general function check to make sure everything works.

Good luck!

Negotiate and offer $4500 cash for both of them. (Worst he can do is say "no.") There's not alot of people spending that kind of money on used guns right now. Even for $5000 it's not a bad deal.

Are u getting these rifles to put rounds through or to be safe queens? 5000$ is a huge chunk of money for most people. I always have found that I think I wanted a certain pistol or rifle way more than I do once I've actually bought it. If the money doesn't matter to you financially then I say go for it! Just be sure to post pictures!!!

The 93 is much harder to find than the 91. The $4,500 idea sounds like a good place to start. Just make sure you know what you are doing involving the sale and legal issues with regards to transfer. I would hate to see some more nice original German rifles get torched because of a legal issue.

Weird! That sounds like the two rifles I stashed in Oregon after the Kali ban in 2000 ! I will be checking them next week. The Karl Kapps scope is a top of the line optic, the one on my 91 is 4x with a heavy dot and a finer dot below that seems on at 400 yards with .308 ball. This was very handy in the 80s when I did well with it in early Practical Rifle . I had one of the first Williams trigger jobs on it. The 93 got carried as my backpacking gun (in those politically forgiving 80s) when I wuz a strong buck with kids who helped pack it. Both those guns were allways 100% reliable under all conditions and incredibly accurate so much so I quit thinking about ARs and even M-14s. I also have a .22lr conversion kit with mags in a green wooden box for the 93 which works very well.I have been offered $5000 for both for about 20 years and NOT sold. They are somewhat worn now but if SHTF I want them and the 2 crates of ammo waiting in the safe in Oregon under my trusted neighbo'rs watchfull eyes. You can't do better and YES the real thing is at least twice as good as anything you can buy new today that looks like them IMHO.

Well the gentleman lowered the price to $4700 OTd for both.

so $2350 for each? Might be high on the 91 but not so much on the 93? Might just even out in the end.


I was at a local estate auction just last week and an excellent 93 A2 with 1 mag and nothing else sold for $2250 when all was said and done. (which included buyers premium, Nics check and 7% sales tax) And I came in second on that gun so I was the mug who bid it up.

This one has far more stuff and lots more mags and would be basically $100 more if viewed as a 50/50 split between the two.

I really need to see them first and check them out.
