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.

Based on the H&K G3 series of rifles with a 26 inch, heavyweight, free floating, stainless steel barrel, no provisions for standard fixed sights, low noise bolt closing device (similar to the forward assist on the AR-15).

The magazine well is correctly marked "PSG1 D 0094" and dated "ID" (1983), contoured grip with adjustable palm shelf, and fixed polymer buttstock with adjustable comb and length of pull. The bolt carrier is properly serrated for the closure device, with "PSG1" marked bolt head.
