Topic: Semiautomatic rifle


In the News (Sun 15 Nov 09)

  
  HKPRO Exclusive:  The HK41 Rifle
It is the civilian version of the renowned military and law enforcement G3 automatic rifle that was developed and manufactured by Heckler and Koch, GmbH during the mid to late 1950s, and is the precursor to the HK91 semiautomatic rifle that later gained popularity in the United States during the late 1970s and 1980s.
Therefore, on the subsequent semiautomatic G3s produced, the locking-pin tabs were eliminated on the front end of the grip assembly, and the corresponding locking-pin hole and bushing at the base of the receiver were altered to prevent the attachment of an automatic trigger pack (more commonly referred to as an automatic “lower”).
Each rifle was enclosed in a fl plastic sleeve that was tied in an overhand knot at both ends to prevent the rifle’s exposure to moisture during storage and shipping.
