Oh gee, thanks. I'm really not sure why you shared this, other than to be "that guy"???

They did purchase .223/33/93 tooling to produce ptr32 receivers, iirc. We'll see if they make the next two obvious progressions...hmm. Looks like the same ol msg91. But with a new stock set, color and sling mount.
There any new spec with this one?
I was really hoping this was going to be a thread about PTR making an MP5. A man can dream cant he?:
The new specs are straightforward, a very accurate and slimmed down rifle. No sights, no flash hider, etc. The rifle is designed from the get go to be a real "precision target rifle" with a factory upgraded trigger group, using optics only, freefloated match barrel with a target style crown.
The claims from the guys at PTR seem to be 0.75"-1" groups using standard off the shelf ammo...which makes it über half moa capable since I am already ~<1" bench capable with my handloads from my standard 2" claimed PTRs...
Normally I would doubt the manufacturer's claims, but Chris has always been honest. When I asked him about the "match" standard PTRs, the answer was 2", perhaps better with a good ammo and handloads, when asked about the GI, the answer "3-4" service rifle", both modest answers...so we'll see how it goes, as I assure you, I will have one asap....
The jest is it's a $3,000 "PSG Super sniper" with weight and production cost savings along the way...MSRP at $1,200 likely means it's going to be in the G.I. price range....why the hell not? Might sell my older F for a straight trade off since it is the "D.M.R" as of now, the weight savings, factory camo, and welded rail makes it a very convincing even trade off, despite paying more for the F.....since it (odly?) comes powder coated in dark earth from the factory, I won't worry much about bubba-izing, I'll probably add some sort of duracoat "mission spray" pattern over top the base. Tropentarn with a darker hue and more green sounds about right for my a.o.....of course I couldn't hope to be as good as the guys at 7.62...
Sorry old chum, you shared a new model so I figured I'd do the same....I didn't know this was a midnight Mass peter worship hour
:. I stand corrected and appologize if I made your peter look small and for any inconvenience I may have caused you.P.S. That Colt sure is purdy, and it's not destroying the brass

Yep, "that guy"...Sorry old chum, you shared a new model so I figured I'd do the same....I didn't know this was a midnight Mass peter worship hour

You remind me of this guy....I was chatting with a mate at work about buying a new 990, and this random ****er buts in, "but what about the r1200", I hear it's way f*cking better..." Naturally the topic is debateable, and the guy has no idea why I want one, or how it would be used, or why I had already chosen ktm over BMW...no, people just like to be ****heads like that...
There are already a few threads about the new colt rifle, and there are plenty of generic discussions for MBRs here, perhaps my title confused you, but I wanted to introduce a new rifle with a dedicated thread, not debate platforms, have e-penis battles, or see who can spend the most money or be the most tacticool...
Just sharing a virtually unknown rifle, one that hasn't even been officially announced or advertised yet, figured some guys would take some value from that, but I guess not...
Which I may add, as I have new info...will be out around April....
+1. I did not know that the rail on a PTR was welded on. Interesting...I would prefer a flashy on a 18" bbl also, but that's not hard to do afterwards.
Man, you've really lost your sense of humor as of late.
: I blame the schools. Lighten up and don't be an ass, I'm just *****ing you a little.
