Hello.
The 17.716" barrels on my 1979 HK91 A-2 and A-3 rifles are factory marked HJLA on one side. I reached out multiple times via email and telephone to HK-USA in Columbus, GA but as in the past no one answers the telephone there or reply to emails or return calls. So I sent an email to H&K GmbH. Someone there replied that "the markings indicate the hammer-forging machine that was used to manufacture the barrels," which I am not convinced of.
Now, below HJLA both barrels are marked J near the breech. HK USA replied that "J is reserved for proof house use." Q.2 What does that really mean and is it true?
This RFI is cross-listed on HKPRO, Sturmgewehr, The Firing Line, Carolina Firearms Forum, Carolina Shooter Club, and M14 Forum.
Thank you.
