Ptr 91

[BlackGT]

Are these any good? Was thinking of doing and SBR PTR.

Thoughts?

They are nice. I had a PTR pistol for a short time that I never had any failures with. Magazines are almost free for them it just gets expensive shooting .308.

Sounds lame, you should do a 7.62x39 Sbr instead.

I haven't shot my LR308 since I got my PTR, one of my favorite guns to shoot.

Any reason for this, besides the cheaper and weaker ammo?

I am looking at buying the PTR pistol with 10" barrel, then getting a stock and stamp...

There are some bad ass videos in the armory vid thread with a nasty ptr 91

PTR is decent stuff. They are made on old Portuguese FMP tooling that went from them, to JLD, to PTR (a restructured JLD essentially).

They are essentially HK91 clones made worse by the portuguese and then Americans carried on that tradition. By worse I mean from a quality standpoint. These photos tell a nice story:

While not as nice as a real 91, they are much less expensive and shoot nicely for the money.

I had a full size PTR, and I loved it. If you do SBR it, I recommend a fixed stock and a PCS buffer. It will shoot almost as softly as an AR15 with that buffer.

And mags are dirt cheap for the PTR, or at least they used to be, haven't looked in a few years.

Variety, but you already reload .308 so that kind of helps the ptr argument.

I was mostly joking, I haven't shot a PTR but I have looked into buying one.

The 7.62x39 or 300 BO would be a way better option for SBR. The 7.62x39 is roughly 1/3rd of the price of 300 BO.

Your wasting a lot of propellant out of the end of the barrel on a .308 10" barrel and making A LOT of noise. I would like to have another PTR-91 but in rifle length.

Nice, that is around what I paid before the mag scare. During all the people going crazy I sold 100 of them for $550

This is true, but who doesn't like fireballs and big booms!?


Questions for everyone, any issues with the fluted chamber and reloading the brass? Brass life seriously diminished or unreloadable?
