Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles PTR-91 (H&K 91 Clone) At The Range

After sighting it in, accuracy with mil spec aperture sights was acceptable. A scope would likely cut the group size in half. A trigger job might cut it in half again, as the factory trigger felt like it was pushing ten pounds.





Sight was set to the 200 yard aperture (the 100 yard sight has a V-notch, so offering less precision, I didn't use it), therefore the group being a bit high was correct. Ammo was British military surplus 7.62 NATO.

Did you just purchase that? I am curious about price and availability.

How much does it weigh?

Here you go: PTR

PS Mags are cheap. Brand new H&K mags are available for about $5.00 apiece. It's because they made so many of them for militaries around the world who just socked most of them away. Then they switched to more modern rifles and sold their stockpiles of mags in massive numbers. Might not last forever, though, so stock up. I've got like thirty of them.

Very nice setup.

Thanks.

PS I love it when I'm the only one at the club. Members get the combo to the front gate. No administration or guards. It's all self-serve.

Thanks, I have been considering the PTR-91....I had one of the 'real' 91's and sold it (long ago before the ban) and miss it.
This clone version seems to be ok (budget battle rifle).

Surplus Hensoldt G3 Scopes and mounts can be had for around $500.00. That's a steal if you ask me.

All kinds of much less expensive options out there for mounting a scope on the PTR-91. Like this one.

Here's my late 1970s HK91. Sadly, I sold it just before Bush 41 banned their importation. I regret selling it every time I think about it.

Would you say about AK47 accuracy but with a bigger punch?

I once saw a HK91 for sale for $450, just before the AWB. That would have been a pretty good investment

Better than AK47 accuracy.

I failed to mention that function was flawless during the fifty rounds I fired. The 20 round mag was filled to the max twice, and halfway once. No malfunctions.

Yep. Before Bush 41, new ones were going for $600.00. After Bush 41 the same rifles were going for several thousand dollars. I sold mine for $600.00 just before he blocked importation.

I own an HK91 and a PTR91K. I prefer my HK, but it'll cost twice the $1,200 that a PTR91 goes for. So IMO the PTR is a bargin for 7.62 NATO battle rifle.

Has anybody ever tried the little brother, the V93 or C93's.

Back in the late 70s I had a choice at the gun shop between the HK91 and the HK93. I went with the 91. Have any nations ever adopted the 93? I know plenty of them adopted the 91.

You'll see a lot of H&K 93's in central and S. America. Ecuador as I remember and Surinam if I recall but the latter had mostly FAL's. Honduras had them as well as I recall.

You sure you don't mean 91? The 91 (G3) is ubiquitous in South and Central America, but I've never seen a 93 in military service anywhere.

If there was some way to tame the ejection...

As is, I wouldn't shoot anything but steel cased ammo in one.
