Thanks for the info. I appreciate the lead on Gunbroker and percentages; it helps me get a better feel.
I have the factory box, all accessories, but no cardboard barrel string or factory target. The bolt face still has the wax/grease that it was first wrapped in though. The magazines still have the original grease too. I realize the factory did a few test-fires, just that it does not appear to have been fired other than that. Any idea where I can find how many of these might still be in circulation unmolested? I know most guys bought these to modify and make into a (relatively) cheaper HK.
It can be exceedingly hard to prove NIB unfired for a given firearm. "Seems to be" and "looks like" just really aren't enough to qualify anything. I've seen a lot of firearms that were "probably" unfired and NIB but you really have to be able to prove it.
I wouldn't begin to know where to find out how many of these are out there unmodified. Keep in mind that swapping stocks back and forth really doesn't change anything so long as you retain the original furniture. It's no different than field stripping the rifle.

They are at best a 2MOA rifle. I know the internet is full of exceptional marksmen who regularly shoot pennies at 500 yards but it's still at best a 2MOA rifle. But they really aren't famous for being more accurate than an AR or more reliable than an AK, they are sorta a best of both worlds with reasonable accuracy and reliability.
While DMR versions such as the G3SG1 exist those were a bit more than a standard G3 with a set trigger pack. Even though receivers weren't reinforced like the MSG90 or PSG1, SG1 rifles were built from the start with accuracy in mind. And even the SG1 series is barely a 1MOA rifle. Only the PSG1 is capable of reliably and repeatedly shooting 1MOA.
That said, I've gotten some pleasing results from my 91s and contract .308 rifles even if I can't quite shoot pennies at 500 yards.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
