How Much is My HK91 Worth?

The HK91 is the civilian, semi-automatic counterpart to the G3 battle rifle and remains one of the most recognized pre-ban roller-delayed rifles on the U.S. market. Value is driven by original configuration, correct markings, and overall condition, with documented pre-ban examples remaining especially desirable in restricted states.

Pre-ban pricing is driven by documented production era and how closely the rifle remains period-correct. Small details like markings, original parts, and finish can materially change value.

About the HK91

Imported prior to the 1989 import ban, the HK91 represents Heckler & Koch’s commercial version of the G3 rifle. Known for its roller-delayed blowback system, robust construction, and distinctive styling, the HK91 developed a strong following among collectors and shooters alike. Pre-ban examples retain features and configurations no longer available on later imports, making originality and documentation critical to valuation.

HK91 Pre-Ban Values & Variants

Pre-ban HK91 rifles are valued for their documented era and how closely they remain period-correct. Most examples range from $2,000 to $3,000, depending on originality, condition, and demand in restricted states.

Factors That Influence HK91 Values

Receiver Markings & Documentation:

Clear markings and documentation confirming pre-ban import status help verify eligibility and support stronger valuations.

Original finish with honest wear generally outperforms refinished examples. Heavy cosmetic damage or corrosion can reduce value.

Modifications & Permanence:

Permanent alterations such as drilled receivers, aftermarket rails, or non-original stocks typically reduce collector demand.

Completeness & Accessories:

Original magazines, sling, manual, or factory accessories can improve desirability, especially when paired with strong overall condition.

In states with ongoing feature restrictions, verified pre-ban HK91 rifles may command higher demand compared to post-ban variants.

Potential upside, but you wait for the sale, pay commissions and still carry uncertainty around final prices and timelines.
