New Battle Rifle
Hello the camp.
It's been a while since I've posted, and I thought I should show off my Battle Rifle. I also have an AR, but wanted something that could turn cover into concealment. Enough preamble, here are a few photos and then a bit about the rifle. The rifle as received.  With the retractable stock.  A close up of the steel lower and wood hand grip.  And an overall shot with the steel lower and wood hand grip.  Now for a few details. This is a PTR-91 Classic and is an American made HK-91 clone. PTR makes these on tooling purchased from an HK licensed facility which was closed down. The PTR-91 is chambered in .308WIN/7.62x51mm NATO and uses G3 magazines. I can purchase new in wrapper/near new mags for $1.79 each (if I purchase 100 mags) The lower that the rifle comes with is a US made version of the later Navy composite lower. I've replaced the Navy lower with a clipped and pinned steel lower and a custom wood hand grip. So far, function has been flawless and the recoil is less than anticipated. The brass (when I can find it) is very much reloadable. Accuracy is not too bad, 2.5 to 3 inch, five shot groups at 50 yards. This is standing, unsupported. When I get a chance, I'll get out the benchrest and see what it (and I) can do at 100 yards. I'm considering adding a paddle mag release and I plan to refinish the stock and hand guard to more closely match the hand grip. I'll be sure to update this thread if anyone is interested.

I like it. I had to go over to GB and check them out. I'm in the market for a 308.

Nice gun.....I like the PTR lineup...have the PTR PDW .308 pistol......they recently moved to South Carolina, about 2 hours from my house. Going to their new plant in November. Their fluted chambers chew up brass but I'll be damned if the things don't eat ammo.

Just curious but is that the same as a CETME? I know CETME is a Spanish military rifle but am not sure of its relations to HK. I would love to know more as I believe my grandfather has one but I have never seen it first hand.
