Horry Co., That’s Myrtle Beach isn’t it?
Visit, pick your ser#.
Make a nice trip out of it.
But it is kind of cool to watch fire blow 3 feet out the end of the barrel!
That’s got to be as loud sumbitch.
Loud guns save lives, oops loud bikes save lives never mind LOL
I want a PTR-91, but in the regular HK-91 length, not this short-barreled thing. It’s the first cousin to the FAL, a roller-locked delayed-gas rifle in 7.62 x 51.
I’ll bet the muzzle flash looks like a ma deuce. It seems like it would be useful for repelling a group of armed and possibly armored intruders that managed to breach your front door, especially with a quality drum mag. I can see a few other uses for such a weapon too.
That's got to be as loud sumbitch.
It is indeed ugly, like all other guns of that design. I will never buy anything like it. I prefer traditional rifles, you know, the ones with a barrel of some length and a wooden stock.
“But it is kind of cool to watch fire blow 3 feet out the end of the barrel!”
Those pyrotechnics come at a cost of lower muzzle velocity. With that pistol length barrel, I wager that the energy of the projectile is considerably less than that of an ordinary 30-30.
With that flash hider, it will blow jets of flame 3 feet to each side as well.
That short barreled PTR with its telescoping stock has got to be a real thumper in the recoil department. The telescoping stock is not particularly ergonomic. The muzzle blast has got to be fierce!
my current .308 is an AR10T. It’s a pleasure to shoot but it’s more of a sniper rifle than a battle rifle. A buddy has a DSA FN-FAL that he wants me to buy and I want it but Cabelas has half a dozen of those PTR91s and there’s that kel tec bull pup and the scar17 and the UTS15. there’s just no end to the guns I want to buy frankly and today happens to be payday.
This may be very important news.
A big part of the 10th Amendment movement is the idea that if guns and their ammo are made in a state exclusively for use in that state, then they are not under federal jurisdiction, because no interstate commerce is involved.
(Granted, the courts have said that “interstate” is the same as “intrastate”, but that is a nonsensical interpretation of the constitution and needs to be challenged. Up is not the same as down.)
But to do this, guns and ammo need to be clearly labeled as associated with a single state, and for use within that state only.
If this comes to pass, it should encourage states to create enabling laws for just in state gun and ammo makers to set up shop.
Of the M14, FN FAL, G3, and CETME — the M14 and FN FAL rifles have the best controls. The single best thing you can do for a G3 clone or CETME clone (including the HK-91 and PTR-91) is the fitting of a paddle type magazine release (similar to the M14).
The military G3 and CETME designs both have two magazine releases: 1) a push button on the right side of the magazine well and 2) a paddle type magazine release located behind the magazine well and the front of the trigger guard. When the original semi-auto only civilian HK-91 and CETME rifles were imported from Germany and Spain, the third push pin ahead of the trigger guard was deleted (along with the paddle magazine release) so that a FA trigger group would not fit the imported rifles.
The paddle magazine conversion is a legal, ATF approved modification and one you will appreciate if you have this rifle. Here's one gunsmith who does this conversion to ATF specs: http://www.triggerwork.net/paddlemag.html.
Ew, The ‘H’ is silent. I didn’t know that. Thanks.
I feel your pain. I like my Siggy 716.
It’s beauty lies in its engineering and its mission specific utility. In a CQB scenario, the beauty of that particular weapon would immediately be apparent to the individual holding it.
I’ll bet. How’s that gas system working for you? I have a stag model 8 that I haven’t even had a chance to shoot yet but it just got a Leupold AR 3x9 and 420 rounds of M855 so I’m looking forward to seeing if that gas operation is as great as I think it’s going to be.
