A question about a Khaidurov Hr30 ? A "what" you say ?.

[Leon]

Sold at an auction in Germany a couple of weeks ago, a rare beast - a Khaidurov Hr30 .22lr

It looks in an unused condition. Sharp-eyed members will see the similarity between this gun and the Feinwerkbau AW93 - the AW93 emulated the design of the Hr30 - how exactly, I do not know.

My question is - Does anyone know how many Hr30s were manufactured?

Maybe some of our Eastern European members could, perhaps, have better knowledge on this ?

The one pictured has serial number 100, or TP 100 K.

More interesting information on these types/models from Igor's Blog (Ruig on TT) -

Oh that grip has some nice details for the forefinger and thumb knuckles. I wish my AW93 had the same contour as the below barrel weight. That always looked sporty instead of the square FWB front.

Greetings Leon,

Many thanks.

Prices in Germany are certainly much less than in the USA...

Too bad it is a major effort to import.

Cheers,

David
