Heckler & Koch is known for their technologically advanced firearms with the highest standards of innovation and reliability to its customer base. The HK93 is no exception. Developed on the same line as the G3 battle rifle, and part of a rich, diverse, and renown family of rifles, the HK93 is not only a spectacle to look at, but a shooting experience few are ever given the privilege to obtain. The G3 literally revolutionized the industry with its roller delayed blowback system and the design has since been adopted and copied to this day for military and civilian markets. This HK93 is the civilian version of the G3 rifle chambered in .223/5.56 – the HK33 and HK43. The special markings on this rifle date it to around 1976 making it all the more rare.
