This was the select-fire shoulder rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm. These rifles appeared in H&#038;K sales literature for a time, but were only made in very small numbers for one or two poor documented contracts. What we have here today is a very early prototype rifle in 7.62x39mm using a regular NATO caliber receiver with a magazine well block to fit a proprietary H&#038;K magazine. The rifle retains many CETME features, including the muzzle brake, metal forehand with integral bipod, carry handle, stock design, and a unique 2-position rear notch sight.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to the Royal Armouries for allowing me to film and disassemble this very rare rifle!
