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 with polygonal rifling, no provisions for standard fixed sights, low noise bolt closing device (similar to the forward assist on the AR15). The receiver has integral scope bases with Hensoldt PSG1 6x42 illuminated reticle scope, and adjustable trigger with adjustable shoe. The magazine well is correctly marked "PSG1 44-1173", contoured grip with adjustable palm shelf, and fixed polymer buttstock with adjustable comb and length of pull. Includes metal storage case with fitted interior, containing an HK Loga system tripod, sling, three extra magazines, cleaning tools, and small tools.

Excellent overall, retaining 98% original finish with limited handling evidence. The accessories are excellent. The scope optics are sharp. Mechanically excellent.
