Microgunner Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Co-worker ordered himself a PTR91 w/ (20) 20rnd magazines yesterday for $1369.00 from One Source Tactical. Dealer said it had a new barrel. I've always been a fan of the HK 91/G3 platform. Does this incarnation live up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have fired one, it was nice. I don't think it is original HK91 nice, but better than the CETME I have handled. Not a professional on these though, and would consider one myself that being said. Parts for it at http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/home.asp .

imschur Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 They are ok, your buying nostalgia, a niche piece with the PTR. Some purists still consider them surplus parts/refurbs. Mags are dirt cheap and plentiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 BTW I love the design and appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have a CETME. It took a lot of TLC to make it go bang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have a CETME. It took a lot of TLC to make it go bang All the CETMEs I've seen were pretty rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I've got one of the PTR's. They're ok. Fires well (every time). Pretty reliable. Fun rifle with a great look. They don't like cans though. Still would rather have an original G3 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Still would rather have an original G3 though. That's a for sure and certain. Edited April 12, 2013 by Microgunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 does the ptr91 use the same bolt as the original G3 ? because then you might want to point him towards that german plastic training ammo for cheap range time since you can get the lightweight bolt meant to cycle with it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJL Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Not sure. I'm sure he'll let me know though. definitely worth looking into as that stuff is under $200 for 1000 rounds :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
