Did you mean Sarco? I didn't know that Tapco sold firearms, I think they sell only accessories. ARKAR |

I'm assuming you mean Sarco. I actually emailed Victor at JLD yesterday and they are genuine JLD rifles, just old stock without threaded barrels. My concern was if they were the old type rifle with .308 match chambers instead of the newer 7.62 NATO type. He assured me they are the NATO chambered just older rifles without threaded barrels. Mine is in order. |

Hope you have better luck than I did last year when I ordered one. They sat on the order for 2 months and I finally cancelled the MO(still hadn't cashed it--order probably sitting on the floor somewhere). A month later they called my dealer all pissy and whined that they didn't like dealing with us and to not order anything again because of the way WE acted!!!

I was going to order one and then put the flash hider on myself. Cost wise it would be a
great deal even with that added expense. However, I found a K model on the EE that I bought instead. It was a whole lot more money and I have questioned why I would spend $300 more. It does, off course, have the flash hider, a wide hanguard, folding stock and its a Kurtz model instead. But if you can live with a regular one that is a smoking deal when you consider the price isn't much higher than what people want for CETMEs or other Century G3s these days. |

I called Mike at Sarco and asked a few questions about the PTR's they had in stock.
(The Black PTR's for $595.00 don't have flash hiders. The Green PTR's for $695.00 do) I called again a couple of days later and left a message with another question. Mike called me back the next day with the answer. (The Green PTR91-TF has German Furniture. Nice to know if I want a collapsable stock. 922r) I faxed in my order with copy of my dealer's FFL and CC info for $713.00 10 days later I picked up my PTR91 from my dealer. For all the negative reviews I've seen Sarco get They treated me better than Atlantic Firearms.

i ordered a $595 rifle for sarco on tuesday, and in my talks on two occasions with them, was told that both their black stock and green stock rifles did not come with a FH. that those versions were all sold.
it may be that what you hear depends on who you talk to and how familiar they are with that line's inventory. so be clear before you order if it matters. i was not that concerned and liked the pricing. looking forward to my new rifle! best of luck all |

Probably not, most builders tend to machine the boltcarrier to semi-auto spec. |

k.,.. continuing to follow up... and asking because I saw another post that some of the green stocks aren't german-made....
If I wanted one of the german-made collapsible stocks out there right now, I'd have to make sure my parts count stays within spec on the gun I bought, right? I look at these, and am not real interested in a flash hider, so I'm wondering if I'd still be ok |

I ordered one on the 14th, and my FFL holder ordered a couple for himself at the same time. I've already found a wide handguard, sent off amoney order, and received it today. Now I've just got to wait on Sarco

Bought one from them a couple of months ago. Great price. They told me it would take about 2 weeks for delivery, then shipped it in less than a week.
I bought the one w/o a flash hider - but I live in Mass., so that's the only model I'm allowed. Glad they offered this option. Have taken the gun to the range a half dozen times and it runs great. Had some trigger work done to fix the HORRIBLE stock trigger and mounted a 6x fixed scope. Gun is capable of 1.5 MOA with mil. surp. ammo.

Screw Sarco! I just got an e-mail from my FFL holder. Around the begining of Feb I contacted him about ordering a PTR91 through Sarco. He called up and inquired about availability and told me that they were available and what my cost would be. It was a great deal so he then placed an order for mine and two for himself on about the 14th. He has been calling them about every week since asking about the status. I just got an e-mail from him saying that he just got off of the phone with Sarco and they told him that they had no record of his order, or his FFL and they are sold out!
 ETA- I already bought a wide handguard for it!

I just got my PTR-91 today from Sarco. I think it arrived a few days ago at my FFL.
Rifle is very nice, serial starts with an A. The handguard wiggles which sucks but I don't blame it on Sarco. Overall, others might have had problems with them but their serivce was good in my opinion. Ill post some pics and let you know how it shoots when I go to the range. Ian |

DJ - based on my research there are two guys that have a good reputation for doing trigger work on the PTR91 - Bill Springfield (sorry don't have any contact info, but you might try doing a search on this forum) and Williams Trigger. Springfield's prices are a little lower, but you have more options with Williams Trigger.
I used Williams Trigger. Went with their middle tier option, where they replace the trigger with longer trigger for better leverage. The trigger I sent them broke at 9+ pounds and had a fair amount of creep. Came back at about 4.5 pounds with significantly less creep. Made a world of difference, but it was somewhat pricey (about $100). |

i was just curios if you were doing the trigger work yourself. bill does some awesome work and a great price at that. i just like doing my own work on my rifles, self gratification if you know what i mean. i thought you may have some new tricks for JLD trigger. thanks DJ1075 |

DJ - my trick is to send the gun out to someone who knows what they are doing.
 Seems to me that one of the ways you can divide people up is race car drivers vs. mechanics - i.e. those who know how to use the equipment vs. those who know how to maintain, repair, equipment (and maybe use it as well). While I would love to be a "mechanic" after 47 years of screwed up DIY projects I've learned that, at least for me, it's usually better (and in the long run cheaper) to let the professionals do it.
