Family member may sell select-fire HK...

Slowhand · Jul 27, 2020

Select fire HK-94... My Bro-in-law passed away from lung cancer and diabetes. He was a retired detective. He has an HK-94 he bought new. He's had it since mid-1980's. It has 3 factory magazines and 1 aftermarket mag. It also has an Assault Systems carry case. He says he fired 2 mags thru when he got it, and none since. I think it may have had a box of rounds fired thru it, but not sure. Anyway, his wife may want to sell. I'm looking to figure how to get a value on it for her. Anybody have suggestions? I fished a little here prob 5 yrs ago and connected him with someone, but I don't have that info.
edit: just found picts from before.

Call Vince at Duffy's. He is an expert with all things NFA.
Are you sure its select fire?

The value will depend upon how it is registered. Registered Receiver, Sear, Trigger Box, etc. The rough range for a standard MP5 is $30-38K, again, depending upon how it is registered.

There are a handful of dealers here that can help her sell the gun. Where is she located?

Also, has the gun already been transferred through ATF to her? That would be tax free on a Form 5.

I second the idea of calling Vince at Duffy's. The guys at Duffy's completely understands the process and can be trusted to execute a fair deal for you.

Low end would be a no-name registered receiver gun around $18-22k, especially if it hasn't been converted to push pin. High end would be a desirable sear like an S&H or Fleming at $30-34k on its own and then $4-8k for the HK94 host on its own or whatever they go for these days.

Is it an original 16" barrel on the HK94 or has it been chopped?

B3 Armament in Chantilly would also be a good place to ask. They move a lot of H&K stuff.

This guy just gave you a lot of good advice. RR vs registered sear makes a HUGE difference in valuation.

Did you look/find the NFA paperwork on this?

Thanks for all the info.

My condolences to you and your family ... This was a learning experience. I never knew that those guns can go up to that much and all the nuisances of how it is registered affecting value. Wow.

The HK94 seems to only have had a barrel chop and the trigger housing converted to allow the selector to move into the auto position. I don't think they go for as much as a completely unaltered HK94 host gun (see below about hosts). People like to convert HK94s to have tri-lugs on the barrels, so someone will still pay a lot of money for it.

I see the receiver still has the semi-auto shelf. That helps narrow it down slightly. Field strip it and pull the trigger pack out of the housing. Take pictures of what the trigger pack looks like.

Find the NFA paperwork. See who the manufacturer is and if it says it's an auto sear, trigger box, or something like that.

If it's a registered sear or registered trigger box, then determine if there's a second set of NFA paperwork for the host gun. If not, then the sear/box is currently "married" to the host gun, meaning they cannot be separated (aside from field stripping, maintenance, etc) because the HK94 would be an SBR on its own. In that case, the HK94 can still be SBR'd and the two separated to sell for more money.
