My friend is looking for a good Auto 308.  I told him that a PTR would be the way to go.  Anyway we found one at the local shop.  It is a regular PTR with no flash or Compensator.  The thing is it is only 650 bucks.  To me that is sending up red flags I mean thats pretty cheap.  What gives??

He also wants to put on one of those MP5 collapisble type stocks.  I told him that I thought that was illeagal because it has to be made after the ban went Sunset.  Am I correct??

What should I be looking for as far as danger signs on this gun.  I don't want my buddy to get ripped off.  Thanks

also would he be able to shoot 308 win through it or would he have to use 7.62 Nato??  I know they are almost the same .   but I am pretty sure there is a difference.

It'll shoot either..remember, these rifles don't have a gas system like a M14, FAL, so, they don't have the same restraints concerning different types of powder, or bullet weight, that the gas guns like the M14 do,so, any .308, commerical or surplus, should work

One other thing to keep in mind, the serial number will start with either an "A" or a "B".  The receivers that are assembled into rifles by the PTR-91 (formerly JLD) factory are marked with an "A". They also sell receivers that aren't assembled so that other assemblers can use to build rifles on, these are marked with a "B".  I'd want to make sure the rifle in question is a factory assembled rifle, or I'd want to know who built it.  I'd be willing to bet that you are looking at a factory rifle.  Hope this helps-ARKAR
