Description:

Manufactured in 1984, short barreled 5.56mm automatic rifles have been seeing growing popularity in the Armed Response/SWAT role, giving many of the size/maneuverability advantages of a pistol caliber submachine gun combined with increased range and hitting power. Hooded post front and four-position drum rear sight, with a checkered forearm and palm stop, birdcage flash hider, three position "0/1/25" (safe/semi/full) hinge pin configured trigger group, contoured pistol grip, and a fixed buttstock. The magazine well bears the HK nomenclature and "(eagle/N)IE(antler)" (1984) date code on the left side, with the West Germany/Chantilly, VA address on the right side. Includes a plastic hard case and extra magazine.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 90% of the original black finish with some scattered light handling marks and mild edge wear throughout. The forearm, grip, and stock are all very good with dings and scratches, heaviest on the buttstock, which also has some faint white paint markings. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a restricted, National Firearms Act (NFA) Class 3, Fully Automatic Weapon, that 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. This weapon is currently registered as being "LIMITED TO USE AS A SALES SAMPLE (Pre-86)" and as such can only be purchased by an FFL, with a Class 2 or Class 3 SOT License.
