Rare Heckler & Koch PSG1 Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle with Scope, Case, and Accessories - Serial no. D0094, 7.62 mm Nato cal., 26 inch heavy round bbl., black finish, synthetic stock, hardwood grips. Said to have been developed at the
request of West German police units following the Munich Massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics, where police units lacked the precision shooting ability to effectively neutralize the terrorists to prevent the hostages from being killed.

Based on the H&K G3 series of rifles with a 26 inch, heavyweight, free floating, stainless steel barrel, no provisions for standard fixed sights, low noise bolt closing device (similar to the forward assist on the AR-15). The receiver has integral scope bases with Hensoldt PSG1 6x42 illuminated reticle scope, and PSG1 pattern trigger pack with adjustable shoe. The magazine well is correctly marked “PSG1 D 0094” and dated “ID” (1983), contoured grip with adjustable palm shelf, and fixed polymer buttstock with
adjustable comb and length of pull. The bolt carrier is properly serrated for the closure device, with “PSG1” marked bolt head.
