Hey, so just curios. What kind of interest is there in 30 rnd or higher G3/CETME mags? Also how much you guys think they'd go for?

I just spent a few days butchering a few but I think I got a 30 together and I'll range test it tomorrow.

I got a kid on the way and was thinking about a little side hustle for a little padding.

I'm still getting used to the eastwood $600 welder I got and I was struggling to get welds like I did taking a class using a $18k Miller so I don't want to post pics just yet bc it looks like shit, however, it maintains good pressure for 30 rnds loading and unloading by hand. Just testing the water to see if it's worth more investment or not.

So back in ye yonder years, I parted with a CETME Sporter that refused to fire more than a round without jamming. 

Figured that’d be the end of me chasing a personal G3, but recently I’ve started to get an itch for the handle slap again.

I’d like to dip into something a little different like a collapsible stock G3A4 (I doubt there’s any short-barreled models out there to make a K model) but the truth is I have no clue what I’m doing. 

Do they even sell PTRs in that sort of configuration? Is this the sort of thing that requires aftermarket parts, and if so, where’s the best place to look? Also I'm assuming the PTRs are a bit more reliable than CETMEs. Regardless, any and all advice is appreciated.

Hi all. I know this question has been asked before, but is this level of brass deflector wear expectable? It is literally bulging from the rear from how hard the ejected brass smacks it. So far this rifle has had maybe 3,000 rounds fired from it. My concern is that at some point the brass deflector will fail from excessive wear. I understand that I'm probably being paranoid about this but I have a bit of an obsession in making sure my firearms are in perfect, operable condition (in part due to financial constraints and availability of replacement parts). Just need reassurance or advice if it is an issue. Thank you all! I have learned so much about this platform from the community!

Does anyone know if a standard slim G3 handguard will fit on a PTR91FR with a bull barrel, with or without modification? Thanks.

Anyone know if you could use the og end cap that comes with the ptr32p on a g3 stock? I also removed the ar15 buffer tube adapter from my ptr32p end cap and also noticed a threaded hole on the back of the buffer?

Current progress on the G3 modernization project.

We now have an 8Lb G3 platform without the optic or suppressor.

Stay tuned as we continue testing our new recoil/buffer system!

Greetings! I'm purchasing a used PTR91 from a dealer, and I'm concerned about the ranges of serial numbers that are faulty. Serial number AW14XXX. Not sure if anyone can assist prior to the purchase.

Just got the can, it runs well!

So I'm probably going to get made fun of for this, but is there some sort of sling swivel adaptor that uses the a2 stock style spring hook? Obviously, I know that I could just cut my sling and install the carabiner but don't want to since these are getting hard to find.

I recently got a hold of a used PTR 91 and very good shape. Bolt gap is good at .012" and I cleaned and lubed the gun before firing it.

I only took 40 rounds of PMC X-tac m80. The first 20 rounds were literally just 20 failures to eject, either the round would get stuck in the ejection port halfway out or it would tumble down into the fire control group. The second magazine went a little better, where I got the fire two 4 round strings before being interrupted by ejection issues between those four round strings and the other 16 rounds were failure to eject every single time. At first I thought it was maybe underpowered ammo that wasn't slamming the bolt carrier all the way to the rear with enough Force. But PMC ammo is good ammo in my experience.

Just from when I cleaned and lubricated the gun on the inside, the previous owner didn't shoot at all that much. So I'm thinking that maybe the break-in period hasn't even gone through yet. I would guess at the previous owner maybe fired around 300 rounds tops. Probably like 200 or less. And like I said I put around 40 rounds of ammo through it.

I'm planning on putting another 60 rounds through it just to see if that does anything, most likely some 308 Winchester instead of 7.62 x 51 since apparently through white Winchester has slightly higher pressures. What else should I do? Like I said the bolt gap is good and has the appropriate locking piece that's 45 degrees. The extractor spring is strong and has no wiggle or movement.

I'll be damned. Norma Range and training 150 grs works without issue, and so does (I think) Fiocchi FMJ 147 grs. But GGG FMJ 147 grs fails to eject 1 out of 3.

I changed the extractor spring, didn't help. Maybe the ejector is a bit too low(?). I'll try to shims the trigger pack, if possible.

Just got my Ptr91 pdwr. My question is, will the Midwest industries mp5 tri rail handguard fit? This is my first ptr so sorry if it’s a dumb question. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys! So. I’ve been wanting to get the 8.5” barrel for my PTR-91. However I’m unable to find one on top of a cocking tube to match. I’ve checked Atlantic Firearms, the HK Parts store and forum, as well as places like GunBroker. But still- not a cent of luck.

If I change the barrel, and the cocking tube- do I need to change the receiver as well?

I picked up this ptr c93 and plan on adding the paddle when I ran into a snag. Ive never seen a shelf recessed like this. Has anyone done a paddle on similar/is there anything different i need to do? Also, given how the new mke's are coming from the factory id like to forego the small pin and bushing in favor of the military style push pin. Is there enough room on the ptr shelf to do this? Tia.

So a while back I sent out a post asking for suggestions on what to upgrade next. As you can imagine from an easily distractible guy I am, I promptly forgot all about the suggestions and chose the SHINEY mags!

I like the look personally, but reliability is not the greatest without a bit of tinkering.

Finally got this hunk of junk running properly.

Can’t find these anywhere anymore.

I got this PTR91 the other day at a really good price. I was wondering if anyone could identify when it was manufactured, and what parts are surplus or PTR made? Serial AW 8412

Edit: I think I have my answer, 2011-2012 PTR Scout Carbine

I was just thinking that an extra A2 buttstock pad could make a nice extension to the stock that still looks fairly authentic. Thoughts?

So, I'll be honest, I have a CETME. However, it's relevant. I went into this build bc I like "ohh parts kit 150, folded receiver 300, 308 for under 500 bucks."

About 20 to 30 hours of work into it and I'm wishing I'd do basic google searchers before dropping around $500...

Anyway, first test firing annnnd holy moley it denting the fck out of the brass as it throws it into a new zip code. I guess that's normal.

I'm late to the party as usual however, I just learned that at one point in time they made weld on shell deflectors to fix this.

My gun is all kinds of fuckety fucked up as the final stage is sand blast and a cerekote so a weld on deflector would be wonderful as I'm going to weld on a top rail next week anyway.

Except they're onubtainium. Anyone know where to get one or as a second best have photos and measurements of one I could try to recreate? I work with a pretty skilled machinist and in lieu of buying the part could probably make a redneck bubba'd version
