this rifle has been discussed extensively on HKpro.com. It was concluded that, although an extremely interesting piece, and probably the gem of any collection, it would be valued more in the $50,000 range. I, for one, could think of a dozen or so weapons I could purchase for the asking price. It certainly is a beauty -- I'll give the seller that.
Tac - I am a big fan of HK, understanding the Herr Heckler und Herr Koch barrowed the idea of the rolling locking block from the Stg45 and the LMG43. I have found it to be a very progressive and utilitarian design, having built a sub-MOA upon an HK93 platform. I tried to do the same on a 91 (g3), but was totally unsuccessful. The braces needed for the larger caliber where beyond my capicty to replicate (such as they do on the Psg1 and Msg90).
