PTR91

[DasBoost]

Question: Source on rebuild kits to make 10/20s? 10rd mags are between $35 and $40 a piece and the $60 5 rd mags are even worse. I've checked HKParts, Solar Tactical, 44Mag, CALegalMags, but no luck except for the one I mentioned up top at HKParts. Anyone have ideas or sources?

anything with the word "clone" should be refused.... if you really want a PTR91 get an HK not a knock off.

Yeah... and the civi HK (91, 41, 911, SR9 or whatever designation) is a clone of the HK G3, which in turn is a clone of the Spanish CETME mod B.

To the OP, nothing wrong with the PTR91. Like DSA with their FAL "clones", they are not reverse engineered: Supposedly, JLD Enterprise (the manufacturer) got the blueprints and tools from the Portuguese G3 manufacturers to produce them.

The SAR's are made by Springfield Armory, on H&K machines, using H&K parts, and was a contracted agreement by the H&K & SA companies.

Not necessarily true... The SAR-3 and SAR-8 were imported by Springfield from a Greek G3 manufacturer (Hellenic Arms Industry) who is licensed by HK to build G3's.

Good looking bang stick Nikonuser. Is the serial on yours above AW#8000 so it eats anything?

Ca legal mags hard to find?

[BKTJ]

To get 10 or 5 rd HK mags just make them. Take the .97 cent aluminum HK mags, band saw or Dremel the body down, form the tabs to hold the lower plate and cut the spring. We made a few this way and they worked. The hard part was bending the tabs, as on some of the mags the aluminum is brittle and snaps off. A couple of the 10 rounders only hold 9 (measure once cut 2 or 3 times).

I'm going to try pinning them next. It would be a bunch easier and works with AR mags.

That's what I was thinking of doing but I don't know of a source that will sell to CA as rebuilds.

BPP11 (HK11) built off a PTR receiver

Here's what I got out of jail today. Built on a PTR by Carlos at BeltFed Precision. When it sits next to my HK SR9 the quality of this receiver really shines...


Here's what it looked like in July



May try to wring it out at the range this Friday but I have to get my Blazer smogged first....will come back with a full report...

How does the PTR91 rate against the PTR32?

[Bongos]

The problem is, HK no longer make these rifles and the old ones that HK did make are being offer at prices that include such a premium that they are out of my budget... and they're used!!!

Plus it's a AW

I really like these PTR91's, even though I don't know much about the H&K rifle's history. I'm practically in love with the DSA FAL's so I don't know which one I would buy first. Eh, would probably end up with both haha. Maybe I'll go play around with one at Turners' just to get familiar with them.

I much prefer the FAL over the H&K. The FAL is much more comfortable to shoot, has a bolt hold open device, and can pivot open to clean. The H&K is super easy to field strip and has good sights. I can see myself building a FAL but since I can't weld, the H&K eludes me.

I love that the FAL has the charging handle on the left side. You could probably charge her up with a cheek weld & still looking down the sights, no? I don't really know how these PTR91 work although I think I see people karate chopping it into battery? lol.

I saw/foldled one at Turners last night. I really, really liked it. But I can only buy one if it will function with Brown Bear ammo cuz thats all I can find cheap enough to plink all day long with. Looks like NO X-mas gifts for my kids this year

I don't think I am strong enough to pull the bolt back and keep it on target while the FAL is mounted on my shoulder although others may be able to. I'm not sure why you would want to anyway; just hit the bolt release after inserting a fresh magazine.

The H&K design does not have a traditional bolt lock so it doesn't lock open on an empty magazine. You have to manually lock the bolt open by pulling it back and turning the bolt handle into the recess that locks it open. You can then do the tactical "karate chop" to get it back into action. Stylish in the movies but I prefer the bolt locks open on an empty magazine.
