Does anyone know what would make the HK PSG1 A1 leo only?
It isn't "LEO ONLY." It's because I think (Clinton?) banned importation
of the gun by executive order. That's what makes them rare and
expensive more than anything else. (well, that and
the high initial sticker price)
Note that, LE/military are allowed to circumvent any import bans,
which basically may be why it shows up as LEO ONLY etc when
being sold by some dealers, etc.
I wouldn't fret it- there are plenty of semiautomatic .308s out
there that will meet/beat the PSG1's standard anyways, for the
kind of money they sell for. They're pretty much an HK collector
toy and nothing more. You can probably get a twinked out M1A
that will do everything a PSG1 does for half the price... or any
number of other .308s, for that matter. You could probably even
get something else that's "exotic" in that price class!
