Does it have ejection issues also? I've got an ongoing issue with my mp5 clone where a mangled case gets stuck in the receiver so it can't feed the next round.

Nope, no ejection issues. It throws the case into the next zip code.

I only ran into issues on my PTR-91 running suppressed. I swapped in a #17 locking piece and the problem was solved. I was getting bolt bounce and light primer strikes.
I have nothing but old surplus mags but they all run 100%. If you want a couple to try out I can let you borrow them and see. I have a few that are brand new but made in the 60’s and 70’s. |

What ammo are you using? Is it known good ammo? All the same or different kinds?
Is the rifle still under warranty? I doubt it's mags since you have the issue with several different one exhibiting the problem. I ve had four different hk, springsfields and pts. The only issue I ever had was with Cavim tar sealed ammo over 25 years ago. Were it me, I'd see what ptr has to say first. |

Thank you for the offer. I have probably a dozen or more mags I can use, most of which I haven't ever tried. Most of my shooting I think has probably been recycling the same 2-3 mags. For now, I need to try labeling the mags and going thru them to see if a trend emerges. Quoted: What ammo are you using? Is it known good ammo? All the same or different kinds? Mostly Federal 147gr brass cased FMJ, with a little Wolf/Tula sprinkled in. I also shot thru a fair amount of the ZQ1 stuff Wal Mart used to carry. Is the rifle still under warranty? It was purchased new in 2014, so I am the original purchaser. Don't know if I filled out the warranty card or not, but their website says lifetime for original purchaser. I doubt it's mags since you have the issue with several different one exhibiting the problem. I ve had four different hk, springsfields and pts. The only issue I ever had was with Cavim tar sealed ammo over 25 years ago. Were it me, I'd see what ptr has to say first. Quoted: What ammo ? See above, mostly good stuff with some (maybe) underpowered stuff mixed in once or twice. No reloads, ever. |

Imo it's a gun issue. Maybe the magwell is too long.
Can you see where the bolt head is contacting the case to strip a round? If you can manage to snap a pic, I can compare it to my SAR3 and see if that's a contributing factor. |

I have made contact with PTR and am sending the rifle in for inspection. Will update as things progress.

Update: the box showed up at a UPS terminal with a hole in it and no rifle to be found... so that’s that.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By YaBoyKGTho: Wow. That's not good. My thoughts as well, as it turns out! It was on it's way back, I don't know how it was packaged but if it was anything like the way I sent it out (in a case in a box and taped the ever loving f**k out of it) then this was unlikely to have been "normal handling damage" |

This might be a blessing in disguise. It may take some time to resolve, but hopefully you took pictures and made a complaint with the carrier. Then ptr can address it under insurance and you should end up with a new rifle that has been checked out from the get go.
That sucks and is one of my fears with shipping. I often buy insurance even if it means I lose money on a sale just to k ow I have coverage for this kind of crap. |

I have no sentimental attachment to the rifle I just hate the idea that it may have been stolen.
PTR is taking care off everything, they've been good so far. |
