H&K PSG-1

jqgunstuff

I was wondering, The local Police department ask me about a H&K PSG1 sniper rifle they have, It has the select trigger. Safe, Semi and full auto. They were wanting to get rid of it but they have not been able to locate the papers,(no one around remembers were it came from.) and the big boys say it don't exist. (not transferable in current set up)
can they put a trigger group off of a Cetme rifle on it making it semi auto ? will it fit right on ? (it won't shot 1 inch at a 100 yards regardless of the ammo or shooter.)

you better take it off their hands!
I have no specific knowledge of what is transferable, but you see full auto parts for HK rifles at most shows here(navy lowers, g3 dimiled rifles)
I geuss you should check to see if reciever is a registered full auto, if not , just take the auto parts out and sell.
if so, maybe you can see the rest of the parts.
Is it a real PSG? or a hk w PSG stuff on it?
psgs were semi only, right?

as far as being registered. BATF says they have no records of it anywhere. It has the case, smith and bender scope and the original case with alot of goodies inside.

I don't believe a PSG-1 was ever full auto. It came with a 5 rd magazine. The PSG-1, at least the ones we were selling when they originally came out, did not come with a Schmidt and Bender. They came with a Hensholdt scope. But that was 30 years ago and it may have changed during later production.

HK-91's could be accessorized to appear similar to a PSG-1. The PSG-1 trigger and grip assembly and stock are/were popular accessories.

I am not an expert and my memory sometimes fails, but you may want to pose your questions at hkpro.com or check out this link: http://www.remtek.com/arms/hk/mil/psg1/psg1.htm

The PSG-1 is simi-auto only and is made from a simi-auto HK-91. If it is select fire I would say that it was a G3 that someone slapped a bunch of PSG-1 parts onto. The lack of accuracy on this rifle backs this up also. They can put a different fire group onto this rifle but the receiver is still a G3 receiver. They will need to go through the proper channels to sell it to a class 3 dealer, or do the lack of info with the BATF it will more than likley be destroyed.

I'm surprised there isn't a jackbooted thug hiding in your bushes by now.
Lessee if I got this right, the local PD has a gun that they don't have any record of purchasing, the thugs, er, I mean BARFE has no record of it ever existing, it just so happens to have a SAF trigger group in it, and you're telling the whole world about it. Hmmmmm.
Did you hear something?
On the lighter side, it DOES sound like a G3 w/access.
I also wonder if some slick-talkin' salesguy didn't just whup one over on the hapless locals, or hi-graded what they ordered, and swapped out a CETME/G3.

If it were me i would not be mixing cheap parts in a high end rifle. Your description definatley somthing is a miss. PSG-1 rifles were issued primarily to the government and are worth over 2000 in the right shape.

Schmidt and Bender scopes with HK mounts are not cheap. And the PSG-1 trigger assembly and PSG-1 stock if HK made are also not cheap.

After saying that, no matter how many PSG-1 parts you put on a G3 or semi auto 91, it will never be a true PSG-1. There are too many PSG-1 unique parts that will not interchange.

A real psg is more like 8-12 grand. The used parts like butstock and triger group would be worth several hundred as would the scope.

There seems to be a slight bit of confusion here about the HK PSG-1. Only about 400 of these guns were imported. IF someone put one up for sale it would fetch 15K+. Non were full automatic, these are strickly sniper weapons that are as rare as hens teeth. Now the later version the SR9T is somewhat identical ( minus the lock open device on the receiver ) ( used for silent loading ) and costs less. However only around 225 of these rare guns were imported. Here is a pic of my unfired , documented SR9T gun with a HK claw mount. These guns defineatly are going to rise in price. As far as accuracy goes, both guns will shoot sub 1/2" groups at 100 meters. Not perfect but they are the most accurate Semi Automatic rifles in the world. HK claims on testing the guns will shoot 1" groups at 300 meters.. and that is not a 5 shot group but a 50 shot grouping.
