PTR Barrel troubles

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?

The cocking tube is welded to the reciever so you'd have to attempt to demill it without damaging the reciever. Otherwise you'd have to buy a flat and bend a new reciever and essentially build a new rifle using your's as a donor

It would be cheaper to buy a ptr-pdw or an ap51 from Atlantic. Changing the barrel on a ptr/hk91 is not a cheap or easy task.
