The KP design is essentially a G3K with a 16" barel from my understanding. This being the case, HK DID produce the G3K, but never sold a civvie version.
The PTR91K lends itself to a G3K conversion easily from my meager research- simply cutting down the barrel to 12.8" and possibly replacing the bolt locking piece (some guys haven't had to) |

The point is HK never made rifle that's exactly like the KP, they never made G3k with 16" barrel, not for civvies, not for anybody. The KP in my opinion is a surperior set up compared to the G3k because the G3k barrel is too short to utilize the full potential of the 7.62, not to mention you loose accuracy and controllability. The KP has the ability to accept a bayonet whereas the G3k cannot. |

I think the shorter barrel was originally made for airborne troops but with a holding stock instead of what is now offer by JLD.
