PTR 91

[RONK]

Honestly, I'd try and shoot one before you buy, to have an idea if you are okay with the factory stock/grip/safety/etc.. If you find it's awkward to reach the trigger, manipulate the safety, etc., and are planning on swapping them out, then whichever one you find at the cheaper price.

I got mine for a song from a range who was selling off their rentals - the Scar 17S was shot a ton, the M1A a bit, and the PTR91 hardly at all - and let's face it, it's not in video games, so if folks are spending the coin anyway, they're shooting the Scar. I got mine for $600 in 2022.

A surplus stock cost me $8 and let me see the sights, and sending it off for a paddle mag release cost about $200 going off memory, and I think the grip/safety cost about $80.

Even modifying the gun and buying parts I'm way ahead buying new.

Works out to about 1360 in today's dollars for a 91.

I find the PTR to be just fine as-is, and good magazines are very cheap. Without a change of stock, it is hard to put optics on. The fluted chamber makes fired cases look awful, but does snot impair releasability. Bill Springfield does good work on triggers. I put an early wood stock on mine.
