Hi All, I'm thinking about parting with my HK-91. Been a safe queen ever since I bought it. I really need to take pics to show it. I'm wondering what's the going rate for one if I decide to sell it. I know it's dependent on the condition. I'm looking more of a price range. Yes it's a 12-5 prohib. oooooooh

You have to realize that it's a small market... you have to luck into someone who REALLY wants it despite not ever being allowed to shoot it. It's pretty much a wall hanger.. one step above a #### & click dewat under current legislation. I have lots of the same..... worth a mere fraction now compared to when we could actually use them. 
You can't use CGN as a reliable gauge to evaluate your item.....the prices here are often inflated: with a little digging you will often find a NEW firearm for equal to or less than what they are selling ofr as used on the EE.
Personally I think $800 would be on the high side unless it was in exceptional condition and came with a lot of extras but that's just me. That being said you just never know anymore......maybe you will be lucky.

The US will not allow import of military surplus firearms, and I think the HK91 will fall into that category. I had a US resident interested in a Enfield No 4 rifle I was selling a number of years ago. It was no problem permanantly exporting the rifle from Canada, but it was not importable into the US because it was classified as military surplus.
The price of any 12x gun is only what a qualified buyer is willing to pay. If nobody is willing to buy it then it isn't worth a dime.
I have a minty L1A1 that I paid $125 for because the owner wanted rid of it and there are just not that many 12x licences in the country.

If the prices for these great guns drops any lower, I'll start buying them and bringing them to Switzerland. Over here they cost a small fortune.

No, it would need to be 922r compliant.
There are probably not more than 1200 - 1500 12.5 owners in the country. There is likely a similar number of 12.3 owners. The other classes were all considerably smaller. I bet there isn't more than a few hundred 12.4 guys out there.
Not cool I want a prohibited license
No you don't. What you want is some reasonable reform of Canadian gun control laws.
I know you are joking to some extent, but I've got to have my two cents worth on this. There is no sense lusting over prohib status. It's useless anyway. "Prohibited" means exactly what it says. It's the 12.6/12.7 classes (which are still allowed to go to an "approved shooting range") that give everyone the wrong idea.
Prohibition = confiscation. Prohibition with grandfathering = confiscation in slow motion (in 1 generation).
Grandfathering was brought in to soften the blow of C-68, limit open "revolt" from gun owners, and to convince guys that things wouldn't really change that much - at least for them. A few years go by, then they pull the rug out from under the 12.x guys, and say no more ATT's. Now all the prohibs (except 12.6) are in the "paperweight class", and stay there until all the 12.x guys die, lose their licences, or let their licences lapse.
I am of the belief that allowing "firearms business licence" holders prohib status is an interim measure until the actual 12.x classes dwindle to nothing. In my work I have seen numerous cases where businesses have a 12.x firearm in their inventory and have to ultimately give it away (or just about) to the one or two local guys that have any interest in acquiring it. Expect to see a lot more of this in the near future.
Give it another 20 years and the confiscation will be nearly complete. No prohibs will have any monetary value at all and, having won this victory way back in the 1990s, the anti's will long since have moved on to other even more restrictive attacks on gun ownership (i.e., prohibiting the rest of the semi-automatic "military style" firearms, those terms being defined very loosely).
Wishing for prohib status is like wishing Blockbuster would still rent you movies, or milk be delivered in glass bottles, or whatever metaphor you like. It's nostalgia. The battle is long since lost. Wanting the "crumbs" of that defeat is counter productive. It's a hell of a way to divide an conquer gun owners as well. We need to give a political party the political support, and political will, to revamp the Firearms Act. As increadibly difficult as that is, its the only hope.
