Jpanzer 1,265 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 How about some pics? You need a special tool to adjust the rear sight if it's the rotary diopter... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjgusmc21 850 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have the carbine and love it. I put wood furniture on mine. Way more accurate then I will ever be and LOVE the .308 round. Can't help you with the site, as it has been a 1.5 years since I shot mine. But I didn't have to do much to hit close to center at 100 yards. Mags are cheap as well.

Spartacus 1,619 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 If .308 ammo was as cheap as x39, I'd be all over a PTR-91. Too expensive to stock much ammo for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Don't they weigh about 9 lbs? My only complaint about my CETME... Well, that and the cost of .308. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) This link should help with sighting in the PTR: http://www.mg-42.net/sight_adj.htm As far as the .308, I run a DS Arms FAL and it is far and away way my favorite rifle. It gets a bit heavy with a 30 round mag in it, but thats what going to the gym is for! Edited August 26, 2014 by Jpanzer 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I've always liked the G3 series design. If .308 were cheap as hell they would be a first choice. They are not really reloading friendly - most destroy brass, and custom loads can cycle funky with the roller delayed blowback. I always wanted an FAL, but ended up with the .308 M77 when they dipped close to $500 - could not resist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sparky63 46 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 outstanding fire arm used multiple brands shot best with cheap ammo,had a bad take down experience ,bolt refused to go back in u tube helped me out, would recommend this rifle to all of you that could handle 12 lb ,same kick as ar10 j p would show picks but don't know how Quote Link to post Share on other sites
U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 They are excellent rifles and very accurate, much more so than my FAL. Because of the delayed blow back and the very large mass of the bolt and carrier the control of recoil is quite manageable.The port buffer will spare your brass.

sparky63 46 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 will the port buffer help save my thumb,i'm a lefty and I think the shell casings brush the top of my thumb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cscharlie 107 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Don't they have a fluted chamber?, the PTR91. Isn't that what makes the brass unreloadable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 will the port buffer help save my thumb,i'm a lefty and I think the shell casings brush the top of my thumb How is your thumb anywhere near the EJ port? Ejection without the buffer is out the right @ 2 o'clock about 10 yards. The buffer will eject to the right at about 1 o'clock 2-5 yards Don't they have a fluted chamber?, the PTR91. Isn't that what makes the brass unreloadable? No. It just stripes the casing with powder streaks that tumbling will remove. I usually only shoot steel case. The EJ port lip will dent the cartridge upon extraction and sometimes leave a flat area on the case mouth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

storm6490 2,768 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 If .308 ammo was as cheap as x39, I'd be all over a PTR-91. Too expensive to stock much ammo for it. there will be a time in the very near future where you will see 7.62 nato coming in at bargain basement prices. don't need to shoot it all the time. just be good with it. if you don't have your nato rifles, you may want to get at least one, even if it's a 9mm . good luck fuckin man cave with no women around..... nice!

D.C.MORRISON 494 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have had real bad luck with PTRs. Lost my first one in a house fire. The one that I replaced it with was stolen. I really like G3s. Just wish the germans would have designed a LRBHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
