Looking for a PTR in .308.

Anyone have experience with a particular brand/dealer?

NJ legal mag source?

 

TIA..

CDNN is selling 'em

CDNN has them at a great price.

I own the model in 7.62x39 (because i am cheap). What a great shooting, well made, and durable rifle.

I was curious about these rifles awhile back. Do you plan on reloading? If so, you should know that they may be pretty hard on brass. I stopped looking at them for this reason. The chamber has longitudinal valleys built into it to channel gas pressure back towards the case to aid in extraction. Something to do with the roller-lock design. The shell will also slam into the receiver frame by design leaving dents. I think that can be remedied with some padding. Also looks like the extractor does a number on the rim.

 

Not trying to discourage you, just throwing it out there for your knowledge if you didn't already know.

Thanks Dan.

It looks like a lot of good info on remedies on that site.

Appreciate the link...

I am just resigned to using non-reloadable surplus 308 in my autoloaders (M1A). My PTR is a 7.62x39, so I use surplus in that too.

Chris at Bullseye Tactical Supply has a PTR91. Pre owned but I held it the other day. Give him a call.

This is what I do with my PTR 91 - use non reloadable surplus ammo, there's enough of it around. It's a great gun, it kicks more that other .308 semi autos, but still a great gun to get.

 

I've been tempted to get a PTR 32, but cash is tight right now, so it'll have to wait.

You can offset the cost by knowing how much you will save buying cheap commie AK/SKS ammo instead of 308.

Yeah, already have a sizable stash of 39 for my other comblock guns, that's what makes this so tempting.... still going to have to wait though.

Just remember to tell them not to send the 30 round mag. Also, this comes with the flash hider. You need to buy a comp and have it mounted. Contact PK90. It is still a few hundred less than the NJ compliant model.
