I bought a blaster grade HK91 the other day. 1976 SACO import in about 85-87% or so. The bolt is also dated 1976. The barrel has standard rifling and is marked HKHS. I have another 91 still in the box in almost perfect condition so I don't Fire it. I bought this one to play with. Pretty convinced I'm gonna go G3K with it if I can ever locate a German barrel.
Anyway, been ten years since I've messed with HK roller lock guns so I'm a bit out of the loop on some stuff. Who is the go to these days for a G3k conversion? Including remarking and refinishing, paddle release, and G3k conversion.
Also, the rifle came with a bipod that looks like an HK light bipod but it doesn't have feet. Just little green rubber caps.
Rcm makes a G3k barrels that is cold hammer forged. They are supposed to be very top notch from what other builders have stated. I had one and its very well made. $239 hkparts
I've read that RCM barrels are nice. I might use one until I can find a German barrel. The OCD in me wouldn't let me sleep at night too long with an incorrect barrel on my rifle. Although as a blaster and pig gun maybe I wouldn't care. I plan to krylon the whole thing anyway.
Lol, the krylon is the ******* in me. This is a swamp gun. Gonna shoot pigs and deer with me. Most of my guns are kryloned. But the nice thing about krylon is that it comes off with a little effort. Plus I'm not worried about the resale value of this gun. I have a LNIB HK91 for collector whatnot. But if you're getting itchy about a kryloned' HK91 you might have a full-on conniption that I have an original FN 50.63 that also got the krylon treatment and has served many years as an offshore boat/swamp gun.
Compromise solution for the *******. Aervoe military grade spray paint. Military Digital Pattern Camo Paint. Still spray paint. But better than Krylon.
Congratulations on the acquisition!!! :biggrin: From your description of the barrel, it sounds like that it has been replaced before (marking/rifling). :wink:
Aside from the incorrect twist is there any reason to not use my existing barrel? It's accurate enough.
