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.

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.

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