This is an example of an original and very early HK43 semi-automatic rifle that was professionally converted into one of the very desirable, HK33 fully automatic rifles. This conversion was performed by Fleming Firearms, a very well known and reputable Class II manufacturer, who specializes in converting all types of semi-automatic rifle into fully automatic weapons that included HK Rifles and SMGs. This conversion was probably done in the mid-late 1970s. This example started with an early "HG" code (1976) receiver, which was converted by adding a clip and pin trigger housing with a three-position trigger pack. The original HK43 receiver markings on the magazine well has been faithfully over-stamped/remarked "HK33" directly in the same area, while retaining all the remaining original markings. The lower, left rear side of the receiver has been stamped "FLEMING FIREARMS/OVILLE OK." and the trigger pack has not been remarked. The trigger housing is now marked with the early style "A-1-0" markings. It currently has the short 16 1/2 inches that is fitted with an original HK pattern flash hider. The rifle still retains its original post front sight and 100-400 meter military rear sight. It is fitted with the standard late pattern larger, squared forend, standard fixed buttstock and pistol grip. Then entire receiver/barrel group were refinished in a beautiful flat back finish that very closely matches the original HK factory finish. This excellent rifle comes with a total of five 20-round magazines and an original folding bipod.

Very fine as converted to full auto with 98% of the Flemming refurbished black painted type finish overall showing only minor edge wear and light test type firing. The plastic components are all in fine condition. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
