    I just bought a really nice upgraded PTR91 from a buddy who works at the local gun shop and he threw in 500 rounds of match ammo. It has the Magpul PRS sniper stock like the PSG1 and it's a great stock. They run between $225 to like $260 for the PRS and if you can afford it I highly recommend it. I put on a Vortex Strikefire 2 red dot and it's really nice. To answer your question about the mags, PTR wanted to make it easy and cheap to get mags so they kept the original G3 mags because they are cheap and easy to find. They do make polymer mags for them but I haven't seen them in person. The PTR91/G3/HK91 was meant to be a battle rifle. They are built heavy and tough so you can slap them around and they will stand up to it a lot better than an AR. Get to know the rifle and I guarantee you'll love it! Also, if you look on the mags most, if not all of them will say G3 H&K. That's because they are all basically surplus mags from old G3 rifles and some you might find on the market were even used in combat. Though they were made as battle rifles they are capable of making long distance shots. I've seen videos of people making 800 yard shots with them with the right optics. Rest assured you bought a great quality firearm that was made in the USA with H&K tooling and made to H&K specs.

    When you have the bolt locked to the rear use the palm of your hand ( Not fingers) to deliver a sharp downward slap, don't be easy with it slap it, to the bolt release. The idea is to hit it quick and hard so the force of the spring can chamber the first round without being slowed down (weakened) by prolonged contact with your hand. Have fun, it's an enjoyable rifle to shoot.

    Very good rifle. I have the PTR 93 ( Made in South Carolina I think) Its chambered in 7.26x39. Steel case Russian inexpensive round. It shoots very well, Have put about 500 rounds thru it and very reliable. Learn to take it down roller lock system is tricky. But one of the best , most reliable locking system designed. Great buy Demcad. Cant wait to see you take it to the range. This rifle is used by Military all over the world Again great buy.

      All .308 battle rifles are heavy. They have to be to handle the .308 rd.. When ruger came out with the mini 14 they weren’t planning on it being a 5.56. They were planning to make it a .308. They found out it couldn’t handle it. That’s why it is a5.56. They called it a mini 14 because it looked like a .308 M14. Just a little trivia there.

    Congrats Demcad! Headspace with a delayed roller blowback action is NOT quite as critical as with other platforms. Your PTR-91 will eat ANY ammo, steel case etc. Spare parts are cheap and abundant so are mags as You pointed out. You can find collapsing stocks cheaper than 300 bucks trust me. allow me to suggest You lay in some spare parts mainly extractors (especially if ya shoot steel case ammo) firing pins, bolt parts etc.

  • @dexm2010
    @dexm2010 4 года назад

    You may or may not end up liking the collapsible stocks, people tend to either love or hate them (I love them) and yes, the prices are higher than they were 10 years ago for those. Be aware that using an optic on that rail (if you put one on there) is probably going to require some sort of cheek riser to get a normal "cheekweld" that we are all used to...and if you put some kind of makeshift cheekriser on the G3 collapsible stock, you're not going to be able to "collapse" it anymore, which would kind of negate the point of using the collapsible stock in the first place. Just something to think about :)

    Please watch a video on how to use that gun. Watching you jam that magazine in was rough. Also lookup "the HK slap". That's the reason you want one of these! Also forget that button for the mag release. Paddle release all the way. Those two unique features, in my opinion, is what makes HKs so much fun.

  • @1789000
    @1789000 4 года назад

    the issue with these rifles is that if you put a red dot on them the front sight post is all up in your field of view - so you zero it and then you cant get a good cheek weld without the red dot being somewhere on the front sight post- and you have to mount the dot so high to avoid it that you're basically going to a chin weld on the stock...the same thing if you put a scope on it- you almost have to get a stock with an adjustable cheek riser..but they're dead nuts reliable, and the mags are cheap...if you can find the hk forgrip it's much better than the thin round one that comes on the ptr-- does require some fitting though..

    The chamber gets filthy, since it uses a series of flutes to assist with primary extraction via bleeding a bit of gas against the case, however, these rifles DO work well and rarely break anything. Just grease the rollers well and you'll probably never had any issues.

    Don't worry about head space. You will never put enough rounds thru it to worry about that. I have had my PTR93 for 5 years. It eats every round I put thru it. Cheap Russian steel case is the best. Invest in a front sight tool. Once you zero it. Your good for life.

    I have heard of people hurting their hands charging the weapon with an overhand grip, better to use an underhand grip, more strength and better fluidity of motion.
    I highly suggest an extended charging handle, and an aluminum fore-end. (The plastic one traps heat.)
    Hkparts.net, but try robertrtg.com first as it has far better prices.
    Test the boltgap before firing, after the break-in for sure, but look at the tolerances and how close you are. Ptr 91's should have a lot of life in them, not like the c308 that uses a bunch of worn out parts.(I have a c308 by the way, had to change out a bunch of worn out stuff.)
    You will need to watch a video on how to check the bolt gap to do it right. While you are at it, watch a video on how to disassemble the rifle. Most of it is easy, but the bolt gives people a bit of trouble cause of that 50 lbs spring it has.

      @dexm2010 4 года назад +1

      This rifle actually is somewhat forgiving in that respect. It is usually easier to rock it in like an AK or M14 mag, but what you will notice is that within reason, the mag well seems to have a way of "guiding" the mag in until it locks even if you push it up almost straight up vertically. I think I even saw him show this in the video, without even meaning to do it when he was showing how to put in and remove the magazine a few times.

    I have to ask. What did they ship it to you in? Just bought my first ever a few days back, and there wasn't any info in what it was actually shipped in.

      Mine came in just a plain cardboard box with one mag.

    I prefer the FAL platform, but more expensive.

      $2,000 for the rifle and $40 for the magazine.

    Where are you finding guns? My local area has been sold out of good guns and all ammo for 6 months.

      This local shop is running low on guns, but for some reason, they had plenty of PTR rifles.

      The gun stores up north are coming down south on the weekend and buying out the stores and gun shows. Not sure what area you are in, but research local gun shows and you should find your answer.

    I've owned one for a long time, I need to replace the trigger. Very robust battle rifle and .308 is a beast of a round. The stock trigger is way too heavy.
