Two New Models for the PTR-91

[AGG]

TCR,

Very nice duo!!!

PTR was at the NRA Annual. I saw the original black. They didn't have the wood model, but they do have a new hunting model. It's like the MSG 91 super sniper, except with a thin profile barrel with no muzzle device. However I don't think it has the PRS stock.

And it's green by the way.

TCR--great looking rigs

Do these have the same chamber flutes as the GI?

YES, it's the same rifle underneath.

I just bought an older ptr91 and ordered all wood furniture from Robert Rtg too. I love the way the wood looks on those rifles.

Wood works well with these weapons. PTR91GI and HK91 (black grip)

Well, this is my first post - I just registered on the forum. I placed an order from CDNN for the new wood stocked version of the GI. Should get it early next week. I called PTR and asked them a couple of questions before ordering. They said it is exactly the same as the GI, but with a black finish and wood furniture. They also said that they have moved to 12 flutes in the chamber and that the wood stocked versions have the new barrels and that newly produced GI models and newly produced GI based models with black synthetic furniture will also start to have 12 flutes in the chamber. Hopefully all is well. I felt like it was a bit of a dice roll. What sold me on the PTR was the inexpensive magazines, spare parts, and accessories. I couldn't justify to myself ordering a FAL or M1A and paying for the more pricey mags and other accouterments that I might want. Maybe next year during tax return time I'll get an M1A or a FAL if our 2nd amendment rights are still intact.

Welcome and thanks for posting. You should be good to go with PTR's new Lifetime Warranty, if you should run into a problem they will repair or replace if necessary. I still feel strongly that PTR offers the best deal on a MBR in the U.S. Please post some photos of your rifle when you get it.

Thanks, HDH.

I'll definitely try to post some photos once it's received. I've already received my shipment of mags, polymer furniture, and other items from robertrtg. I even snagged a bayonet from numrich - hopefully everything goes together well. I thought the pics of the wood furniture looked good, but I wanted to be able to switch to polymer just for the heck of it. A buddy of mine who used to own a CETME told me that the wood handguard heats up real fast, but I don't do a lot of rapid firing so I'll see how it goes. My intention with this rifle is to find one of the german scopes and claw mounts and scope it. If the rifle is 2-3 MOA (hopefully closer to 2) and reliable, I'll be more than happy with it. I don't do any bench shooting. Most of my shooting is done either prone or sitting and I can shoot 2 MOA consistently, so if the rifle is as accurate as I am that will be great.
