Go ahead and shoot it. While the value of a preban 91 goes up, they aren’t exactly rare. You have some nice accessories too.

You didn’t mention a sling, but that is a good accessory to have. Maybe a cleaning kit. Avoid the case buffers. They scratch up the receiver finish.

 

May as well shoot it and enjoy what you bought. Your title says NEW UNFIRED but, the person you bought it off of said he had shot five rounds through it so, it's not an unfired safe queen. Besides, not shooting it is just like saving your girlfriend for the next guy....

 

P I C S

 

The answer is always SHOOT IT.
Unfired guns make baby Jesus cry.

 

If the gun was actually unfired, I’d say keep it that way, but since it has been fired then you’re not doing anything that hasn’t already been done by shooting it

 

Enjoy it since it has been fired already.

 

Buying a gun and not shooting it is like hiring a hooker and only snuggling.

 

100% shoot it, its not like its still in the box with shipping labels, just take care on the range, clean often and all will be well with the world

 

My answer is don't shoot it, sell it and buy a shooter rifle and pocket the difference for some ammo.

 

I don’t think there’s much difference in price between a LNIB or a shooter 91 these days. Most used 91s aren’t all that beat up anyway.

 

My rule for pre-bans is ALWAYS shoot it but just don't make any irreversible modifications and treat it well. No reason to own a $3000-4000 paperweight.

 

Keep this in mind if you decide NOT to shoot it...Fast forward to a time in the future....If I was the potential buyer - I would be put off by the fact you would say "unfired" then proceed to tell me the guy you bought it from only put 5 rounds down the tube- I really don't know that--5 or 500- However, from the looks of the ejection port, I would concur with the only "5 rounds", BUT some guys use electrical tape around the port to protect the finish-- so 5 or 500 who knows? --Guess what?- It's not unfired.

So, in short- Shoot it- Its value has been changed already.

It does look pristine, and in excellent condition, and congratulations on your find... IMO - Do what you want, shoot it, enshrine it, whatever brings joy to you. But, just remember, it's not an unfired weapon-- I'd shoot it-. Good luck.

 

Hi
I am from Brazil and just asked a collector if he wants to sell,i just know that is an HK 91,probably made in the late 80’s
How much would be a good price to make my offer,here in Brazil they are very rare
Thanks a lot

 

Go ahead and shoot it especially if it’s shot already... and not to mention it has the claw mount on it (that already scratched the gun just putting it on)

Wear on the safe/fire levers spring path?

 

An unfired rifle from 81' should have come with a bipod installed. Mine sure did, although it wasn't unfired at the time of purchase.

Something about how that appears "put together" smells fishy to me.......I certainly hope you didn't pay a premium price for that rifle. Regardless, it is still a 91 and still a nice rifle.

I'm betting a lot of that was sourced from RTG and put on afterward, including the sling. I have four or 5 of those slings sitting in my basement.

Heck, I even have a spare Hensholdt that I picked up when they were available, waiting for something on which to mount.
