PTR-91, HK91, etc... - BelieveIn308 - 10-07-2014
Does anyone here love these rifles as much as I do? Rifles with better reliability than a AK, much better accuracy, harder hitting, and much longer range fire power?
Yes, they have the ergonomics of a railroad tie, but they really grow on you...

I like the FAL variants better, for numerous reasons. Still neat rifles though! For the price of some you can't go wrong
RE: PTR-91, HK91, etc... - BelieveIn308 - 10-07-2014
Outside of the bolt locking open on empty, why do you prefer the FAL? I've always felt the G3 was a far better rifle than a FAL. Parts seem to wear out fast on FAL's. The magazines cost a fortune. But they do seem to be hard hitting and accurate. I have only fired the FAL a couple of times, what have I missed.

P.S. To anyone with a HK-91 or Cetme, etc. with a awful 10-12 lb military grade trigger, I HIGHLY recommend (http://www.triggerwork.net/hkpacks.html) Mr. Springfield. What a difference.

I would love to get my hands on a cetme, but the price of them is getting up there. I almost thought about selling my ak to get one. But the ammo is so much cheaper. I have a Spanish mauser so it would be nice to have an interchangeable round.
RE: PTR-91, HK91, etc... - BelieveIn308 - 10-13-2014
I didn't know the Spanish refurbished some Mauser's for the Nato 7.62x51 round. You learn something everyday!
I think so many of the Cetme's are hit or miss, I'd lean toward a PTR-91 today. I have an original HK91, and it is still my go to SHTF weapon of choice, because I know I can beat it to hell and it will still go bang everytime. Although the Ruger SR762 is giving it a run for it's money.
RE: PTR-91, HK91, etc... - fromtheplaines - 10-13-2014
Yea they are getting a little harder to find an the company I bought mine from super sucked. Are the other guns offshoots of the cetme?.
RE: PTR-91, HK91, etc... - BelieveIn308 - 10-13-2014
yes... The Cetme was the original Spanish version of the German design that preceeded the German G3. The HK91 was the civilian semi-auto version of the G3, and the PTR-91 is an American made copy of very good quality.
RE: PTR-91, HK91, etc... - fromtheplaines - 10-13-2014
Ah I see, one mire question are the magazine's interchangeable
RE: PTR-91, HK91, etc... - BelieveIn308 - 10-13-2014
yes... The German G3 surplus (Steel, aluminum) fit all 3 rifles, and are still dirt cheap. Their springs in these surplus magazines are top notch too.

Cool I may put of buying a pistol for the foreseeable future
