Heckler & Koch PSG1
File:TheSniperPSG1.jpg The Sniper PSG1 - 7.62 NATO
photo from PROPS COMPANY LIMITED Website - The Sniper 'build up' PSG1 - 7.62 NATO It is a fake 'build up' PSG1 (much like the SR9TC rifles in Hollywood), created by putting long barrel (note that it is slimmer than a real PSG heavy barrel), or a barrel sleeve extender, along with the recognizable forearm, buttstock and pistol grip on a standard HK91/G3 body. A build up like this would cost under $1000, whereas a real German PSG-1 sells for $10,000 - $35,000.
