Chevy Chase and the HK 91

[Slater]

Below is a scene from the otherwise forgettable 1983 movie "Deal Of The Century". Not an HK expert, but did the HK91 really have a fold-down optical sight and a built-in bottle opener?

No the HK did not. The Galil did have a bottle opener built in though course it was likely just by accident as it uses the same area for the bi-pod to recess into. The optic appears to be a SUIT style optic for an L1A1 FAL. How they mounted it with the ability to flip up off to the side- is for the movie.

Also you wouldn't want to try that with the commercial "plastic feet and hollow metal tube legs" version of the bipod. That said, the HK63/91 is amazingly robust for a stamped steel receiver rifle. As previously noted the bottle opener is a Galil thing and the only way you could have fold down optics is to take a Larue folding mount back in time and install it on an ARMS mount.

Best scene for me though is when the guy tries to rob Chevy Chase.
