The 308 rifle niche was already filled with the M1A, FN/FAL, PTR-91, Remington Woodsmaster, and various bolt action 308 rifles. The AR platform in 308 is trying to fill a niche that is already full. www.alloutdoor.com/2015/10/22/heavy-duty-shtf-battle-rifles/ I remember reading about the...

Thinking about getting a PTR91 GI model, what are your thoughts? Owners of a PTR91, what common mods have you done? Should I spend another $300-$400 and just get an AR10? Or should I spend another $600-$700 and buy a Springfield M1A? Or is the PTR91 a good rifle for the money?

Here is my question...I have 2 m1a's and an appropriate number of magazines and ammo to support the platform; but I keep seeing these nice looking PTR 91's at cdnn for $849. They have 16" barrels and I found magazines for sale locally for $4 each. Is it worth it to get this and learn and...

hello all id love your help.i just recently had my 18th birthday and i think its prudent to buy a 308 battle rifle(along with 22 and shotgun)first. my two choices are the ptr-91 gi and the garand m1 tanker in 308.why limit myself to those two? well budget limitations mostly.i couldnt buy the 25...

I know the PTR-91 is a recreation of the G3, but I had heard that only certain parts were compatible with the other. What I am wondering is whether I can swap out a receiver or a stock from the PTR with one from a G3. Would the magazines be compatible as well? Thanks a lot for the help!

Are you considering buying a rifle chambered in 308 Winchester to help you and your family through a long term SHTF situation? The three main rifles on the market are the M1A, PTR-91 and the FN/FAL. There are a lot of articles out there discussing the points of each rifle. What is rarely...

One to add a semi auto in .308 to mycollection (already have ARs, aK-47s, and Ruger mini-30...My choices are DPMS AR-10, CETME or PTR-91. DMPS and PTR-91 are about $1K, CETME is $600-650... Do not want to go over $1K and do not really like to buy used. Please advice only if you own one of the...

I would like to make my next purchase. My budget is at around $1000 Can you recommend me a great rifle. At this point I don't have that much preference between bolt action, semi-auto or lever action Basically I want you guys to try and "sell" me different guns and calibers because I'm having...

Which is best?

Man oh man, what a weekend. In a previous article we talked about survivalism as an experience and not just a theory. This past weekend was to expand my experience, and to improve upon my theories. Part of my prepping for SHTF / TEOTWAWKI includes going to the Bug Out Location for a couple of...

So, with doomsday just around the corner I've been looking for an appropriate rifle. I've hunted with a bolt action .308 since age 12 and already have a decent stock of ammo and reloading supplies. I like what I see in the PTR-91 with a 16 inch barrel. Never shot one but I hear the recoil is...

I traded my tricked out Remington 700 for a PTR-91 GI model. I've wanted an HK-91 since childhood, so this is a long time dream. I've ordered 15 mags, two mag pouches, and a cleaning kit from Cheaper than Dirt, a sling from Robert RTG, and a case of Tula .308 from Grab a Gun. I'll report back...

I made another thread on the MSR a few days ago, but there's some new models coming out aswell, several aimed at the mil-spec purist perspective, a couple SBRs, and of course, my favorite thus far, the MSR. Also, it is confirmed that PTR has redisgined the PTR32 in 7.62x39 soviet. It will...

:D:http://centerfiresystems.com/AKAGUN-VEPR-54R.aspx This is a brand spanking new product improved Russian Dragunov. These are quite probably superior in accuracy to the original military issue dragunov. These are 7.62x54 guys!:D:

Hi all, I'm interested in getting a sling like this for my PTR: http://www.appleseedstore.flyingcart.com/?p=detail&pid=10 I've read that the USGI slings are a good tool to help stabilize your shooting. My question is: do these fit the PTR91s as is, or do they need any adapters or anything? If...

My question is certainly one that's been asked before, however the search function is weak and I didn't find it by flipping back a page or two. So bear with me... What is an inexpensive, legitimate option for a MBR(main battle rifle) that is NOT an AR? At this point in my life a 1300 dollar...

If your ONLY two choices for a personal AR/MBR (gotta cover your bases for the nit-pickers) were the Armalite AR-10 16" Carbine or the PTR91 Squad Carbine 16" which would you choose and what would be your decision factors?

Ok, so for the past few years my MBR has been a converted saiga 7.62x39. Which in it's own right isn't a bad thing at all. I love AK's. The design just works. All be it a some what stolen design. I am pretty hardcore into weapons history. So seeing where all modern select fire magazine fed...
