Does anyone here have one of these? PTR
My dealer gets some in every now and then and I am thinking about picking one up. Also, if the AWB comes back, will these suffer the same fate as our AR's? |
| Just got a ptr-91 yesterday. It was the ptr-91f with the flash suppressor so I swapped it for a comp and called it a day. Have not got out with it yet, but its built like a sherman tank if youve only shot .223 AR's. Front heavy too. But thats the only complaint Ive ever heard. The ptr-91C is the one with the factory comp, but it is impossible to find. More then linkely you will have to go with an "f" and get a ffl who will let you swapp a comp on it. |

Yes they are very front heavy and if they are anything like the old ones and have a short stock that makes it even worse because the recoil fucks your shit up. Mine doesnt have any muzzle device OR a damn recoil buffer so it kicks like a mother fucker, let me tell you. Ive been meaning to get one though. Also dont forget that comp needs to be perm attached if its not already

Also dont forget that comp needs to be perm attached if its not already Its so strange, Ive never heard such inconsistent reviews on anything in my life, compared to the recoil perception of the PTR. Some people say its an AR some say its equivalent to an AK, some an elephant rifle. Something must really vary between the individual rifles. Perhaps the earlier bolt gaps. |

well....i mean one with no recoil buffer and no comp like mine vs one with both will probably have a huge difference, thus being mixed opinions. Ive seen some videos where it looks like the guy can hold it with one hand and have no recoil.
As far as the bolt gaps go with the older ones is that they increase after quite a few rounds. A little while back, there were PTRs like mine being sold by the masses for like 600 bucks from Sarcos and a few other places in NJ. Thats the one i have. |

I thought the issue was the shrinking bolt gap? Yeah PWS is coming out with a comp/suppressor 50 state legal with the 15x1mm threads. Ive seen videos of them shooting ar's with one hand out in front of them and no climb at all so hopefully it will mean good things for the PTR (aside from just reducing muzzle flip). |

I actually have a PWS comp on my AR right now, thing is fucking amazing, i love it.
Ive been wanting to get one and send it to ADCO to thread it and throw that thing on, but being layed off recently and having no pot to even piss in, its unlikely right now and the bolt gap thing, maybe it was shrinking i cant remember, i just no there was a problem with it. I didnt care to look into it much since i cant afford to shoot 5000 rounds of 308 every weekend like most of these guys complaining about the problem haha |
| I'm one of the folks that thinks its kicks about like an AK. Not as bad as my M1A with a flash suppressor. Also, it has the factory muzzle break from PTR Inc. Somehow, and I have no clue why, my 22 inch M1A is LOUDER then my PTR with a break and a 16 inch barrel. No clue why. You got a PTR zerothomas? |

I have a PTR91-C with the muzzle brake on the front. Great gun, however it mangles brass so don't shoot brass you plan on reloading. Very awesome rifle, no complaints here. All the parts are faily cheap for it. I bought the wood furniture for it, 2 stocks 3 front grips, for $12 (some minor modification to the stock to get it to fit, but very close match. Mine has the Navy lowder (the SF markings NOT SEF), this means that the pistol grip is built into the lower trigger housing and cannot be modified since it is all 1 piece.
However, it is a very dificult rifle to clean due to the bolt mechanism. Very fun, always turns heads hehe. |
