HK Vollmer conversions
 

Does anybody remember these? Back in the late 80's Vollmer was licenced to convert HK semi auto firearms to full auto and sell them to class 3 licence holders. Vollmers quality was impeccable, making a great firearm even better.
Thier customers were mainly law enforcement and security agencies, we'll just leave it at that.:biggrin:
I was woolgathering and found an example for sale with a pic, this was probably one of the flat out nastiest firearms ever made:

Prod. Code: HA 102

Just is one of the meanest guns out there. Vollmer conversion with Reg SEAR. Beltfed HK 51 in .308. This gun is like new, it's been sitting in a closet since being converted. This is not for the timid, lots of fire power in a small package. In stock ready to transfer.

This is one of the reasons an original pre ban HK costs a lot of frn's, its hard to say how many were lost, stolen and dumped, or converted.
That nasty little belt fed in the pic was once a nice, friendly semi auto '91!:36_1_25:
I thought this tidbit deserved its own thread.

That would be a fun shooter.

Yah, I remember Vollmer. He was buying anything auto or at least easily convertible and paying reasonable market prices, if I recall correctly. Prices today for select fire weaponry is astronomical...and relegated to the wealthy collector only.

I certainly remember FJ Vollmer...

He had a recurring ad in CoinWorld back in the 1970's...It read something like "We take trades...Coins, Guns, Boats, but NO mothers-in-law....

Vollmer's also had one of the first simple BBS machine gun boards on the internet back in the mid 1990's...This was before they went out of business...

He sure was! I wish I would have saved a few shotgun news issues from back then. Its funny many folks think this is the first cool gun - ammo run going on now, but its all been done before and some of us bought enough back then we're still cracking sardine cans today!
The good news is don't worry folks, it still go's BANG 20+ years later.:ok:
