I recently got the Magpul trigger housing for my C93 since the one it came with didn't fit well and had a really narrow grip. The Magpul one fits so much better both on the gun and in my hand. It was missing that classic HK pictogram colored in selectors, so I got some Lacquer-Stiks and did it myself. It came out mostly okay, but the rough texture of magpul polymer means that the coloring kinda got everywhere. I did my best to clean up the excess though.
I also got a new charging handle since the one is came with is four a G3 and was hard to manipulate.  Attached File |

 Got a new job, celebrated with a PTR-9C. There's a tropical forearm sitting nearby, just need the small pin for it as I just don't like the PTR rail. Then I need to pick out a sling and eventually a red dot. The brace came in today and it is really nice. Oh, and new mags. I haven't shot it yet, but these ETS mags just don't feel great with the gun. |

Took my new PTR 9CT out for the first time today.
 Attached FileThoroughly cleaned and lubed it prior to taking it out. Went through about 250 rounds without a single failure of any kind, both suppressed and unsuppressed. Most of that was Blazer Brass 115gr, but also shot a mag of 165gr. Suppressor is a Silencerco Omega 9k. Now that it has shown itself to be initially reliable, it will be getting a Form 1 and A3F stock as soon as possible. |

I finally got the chance to take my PTR 9CT to the range yesterday to do the break in. I ran about 150rds of 3 different types of ammo in it. I had one failure to feed on the first round in a mag which I would attribute to the mag (KCI gen2). The top of the feed lips had wear from the bolt.
Other than that I’m very pleased with my purchase. A lot softer shooting than my CZ Scorpion. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Johnny_Longslide: These last two posts are pretty sweet guns. Thank you sir. On a side note, I believe PTR uses a non-HK rear sight base. In my G3K clone effort, I have attempted to mount 2 G3K correct rear sight drums. Neither would work with the rear sight base on either my 91GIR or the K3P. So I just ordered an HK rear sight base from RTG. And so now, with the HK rear sight body, I finally have a correct G3K rear sight drum on my G3K clone.  So if you're building a G3K clone on a PTR and your rear sight drum won't work, try getting an HK rear sight body. Worked for me. |

Anyone have a good source for the SB Tactical folding brace at a reasonable price? I'm thinking of grabbing a brace while I continue my search for an A3F stock (at non insane prices). I'm seeing the brace for about $200 most places, is there anywhere cheaper or is this the best you can get? Any preferred vendors?

I have the brace but I got a deal on it when I bought my PTR-9CT. The nice thing about the folder is its useful for storage in my safe (I use hooks to hang it with the brace folded under one of the shelves). Despite that, if I was starting fresh I'd go with that iconic A2 stock. |

C308, basically a CETME but I think it'll fit in this thread.
Changed the stock, grip housing, and did some barrel work to get rid of that welded on shoulder spacer and chevron brake. The receiver and barrel are PTR so the barrel was threaded 5/8-24, couldn't just use an original HK91 flash suppressor.

For MP5 clones (full size, not K) what are everyone's favorite lowers? I'm still pretty new to the platform and am trying to sort through the myriad of options.
The one thing I don't like about my PTR 9CT is the pistol grip. It's... not great, to be kind. Also, the safety selector could be a bit better. I've been eyeballing the Magpul lower and safety, but was curious what you guys think of some of the different options available. Ergonomically and aesthetically, what should I be looking at for my PTR? |

Yep I'm learning about these too. I placed an order last night for a new PTR 9CT and just ordered a couple HK mags for it. I'll probably swap the handguard and was curious about buying a metal lower for it. Will any MP5 lower fit? I want to put a few hundred rounds through it then SBR it and put an old school stock on it.

If you actually want to reach the safety, an ambi lower with ESSL levers is probably what you want (if your wallet doesn't cower in fear). The magpul might work too, but I've never used it. |

The magpul might work too, but I've never used it. eodinert pretty much summed it up. I like the iconic looks but I want ergos as well. This ain't the 70's and there's a few more options now for this platform. Lowers, not so much, Magpul is really the only one but it's pretty sweet. Stock options are a little better... In case you haven't seen mine already, just go through this thread. ACR stocks, Magpul lower and safeties, options for picatinny stock adapters... etc. I currently have the Magpul lower and safety on my 9ct and I like it a lot. I will eventually modify one (Magpul lower) to fit on my 9kt when I have some down time. |

I wasn't sure I wanted to get into the effort at that point and my F1 came back on my G3K clone, so it got slapped onto that one. I ordered a second one for my 91, and now I will probably order a third and mod that one to fit my 9KT. I know there will be some metal to cut at the tail, and my concern was if there was going to be enough molding left over to still keep things attached on the grip itself. I need to spend a little more time on it. |
