The Heckler & Koch HK91 in the United States firearm market is very valuable since it was banned from further importation by an executive order issued in 1989. Less than 50,000 HK91 rifles were imported into the U.S. prior to 1989.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The HK91, a derivative of the HK41, presents a fascinating case study in firearms evolution and market adaptation. Introduced in 1974, the HK91 was rebranded from the HK41 to shift public perception from a paramilitary weapon to a semi-automatic sporting rifle, particularly in response to changing West German gun laws that restricted civilian ownership of military-style firearms. This rebranding involved modifying the rifle’s design to prevent the installation of fully automatic components and included a distinct alteration in its date code for early imports, where the year "1974" was fully spelled out. Only 50 units were imported in that initial year, setting a precedent for a model that would see a total of 48,817 units reach the U.S. before a 1989 executive order banned further imports of non-sporting rifles. The rifle's various models—HK91A2 through A5—offered features like fixed or retractable stocks and the option of a polygonal bore, catering to diverse user preferences. Notably, the HK91 has become a collector's item, with prices skyrocketing from an initial retail price of $380 in the late 1970s to over $2,000 today, particularly for rare models. The production of licensed copies, such as the Greek-made SAR-8, further complicates its legacy, distinguishing between the original and later, lower-quality reproductions. As the firearms landscape continues to evolve, the HK91 remains emblematic of both regulatory influence and the interplay between market demand and firearm innovation.
