Great score! What did you pay for the 93 if you don't mind me asking? I bought my 91 in the salad days and scored all this for $2k. But I really want a 93.

Wow...what a score. The HK91 has been on my bucket list for over a decade.

I figured the scope an mags alone worth half that. The unfired HK93 maybe worth another $3500? |

If you want shooters, buy some licensed made Turks or Pakis, and flip those on Gunbroker. Thanks for sharing the pics of your good fortune, OP.

Of course you should shoot them. Unless they are NIB they aren't worth not shooting.
|
|
They should definitely be shot.
Not only will it be totally cool but it won't diminish the value much- and you may have underpaid.... |

That is awesome and I’m jealous. I have a PTR and it’s one of my favorite rifles. Yes shoot them. |

View Quote In my head.. loudly... then I called the wife.. explained this was a bucket list thing.. and promised to sell a few other things out of the collection... she said go for it. Which was really cool of her because she had just let me get something the previous week at the same store for my xmas.. |

Very nice!
eta; and as to "unfired"... ALL HK9X series rifles were test fired (3rds IIRC) before leaving the factory. |

I am sure thats true, however, look at the pics below I just posted... the bolts.. the chambers.. these rifles have not been fired since they were sold as new guns back in the 1970's and 80's |

Quoted: Always a turd in the punchbowl huh? They certainly are new in the box. Here's a pic of the original HK boxes with HK shipping labels they came in. As for "I doubt they never been fired"... HK93 Bolt, chamber area showing no wear from cycling, no fouling, no brass marks, completely new and unfired. Just like I said. and Here is the HK91... again, shell deflector without a single brass mark, receiver without any ejected brass marks.. chamber with no fouling, new and pristine.. bolt and carrier.. no wear, no firing marks, no primer marks, no fouling.. brand new. View Quote Claw mounts show a lot of on/off wear. That means they aren't new in box. And try and get that deflector off cleanly. Those pics certainly don't scream unfired to me. I've had several pre-ban 9x guns that look that clean and have been fired. The 93 certainly has been fired looking at the bolt head and the edges of the ejection port. 91 also looks to have been fired judging from the the bottom of the ejection port below the case deflector. With the amount of accessorizing and on/off marks from the claw mounts you are going to have a hard time convincing anyone they are unfired. Brass deflector too. Heck, I bet that scope is sighted in. |

Quoted: Its funny how much my post seems to bug you.. to the point of you needing to post snark View Quote Your guns are fired, the PTR carrier has a completely different finish the German. And yes, I can look at your 93 bolt head and see it's been fired. There's staining on it. They haven't been fired much, they are a nice package and have lots of accesories but don't kid yourself the previous owner shot them. But maybe you could post some borescope pics? Or how about some pics of the buffers? IDK maybe some of the internals of your cocking tubes? |

OP, those are beautiful rifles. Heck of a find. Congratulations. Shoot them.
|
|
Congrats OP. Nice stuff. I have both a HK91 and HK93 that appear to not have been shot. Total cream puffs. And have both .22lr conversion kits for them as well. I'll let the next person enjoy shooting them, I'll just "beet" the hell out of my PTR's. I have heard that staining can come from age and not from shooting...who knows?
It's hard to get the bolt face and chamber that clean after shootin' |
|
That's a heck of a find OP. Expensive, but considering the overall package, I think you did really well. Congrats!

New in Box means not finger f**Ked for 40 years. What monkey took those scope mounts on and off? You have too many posts (3K)on this site for this NIB "I want the value " BS. Feel confident you paid market value for a $8000 buy of nothing special. Geez., |

Nice!
This might make you feel better about what you paid for the 93. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/886877663 |

Toast Jelly. HKs have a weird gravity to them. If you need to offload one no need to look far, I’ll drive.
Enough with all the fired or not bullshit. Nobody can afford to shoot anyway so it’s a moot point. |
