Both the PTR91 and Cetme C308 are copies of the HK G3 / HK91 (G3=FA, 91=SA), but the copies have their quarksI have not had a PTR but I have had a couple of Cetmes and they were both pretty great, Is the PTR an G3 or Cetme copy?
No not really the the HK is a copy of the Cetme, it has some changes/improvements so not all parts are interchangeable. do yo know if the PTR91 has parts that are not interchangeable with the HK?Both the PTR91 and Cetme C308 are copies of the HK G3 / HK91 (G3=FA, 91=SA), but the copies have their quarks
Interesting, I was not aware of that; I was under the (obviously false) impression that the Cetme was a copy, my apologies for the bad info.No not really the the HK is a copy of the Cetme, it has some changes/improvements so not all parts are interchangeable. do yo know if the PTR91 has parts that are not interchangeable with the HK?
Thanks for the correction, I just found this:No not really the the HK is a copy of the Cetme, it has some changes/improvements so not all parts are interchangeable. do yo know if the PTR91 has parts that are not interchangeable with the HK?
No worries its a common misconception.Interesting, I was not aware of that; I was under the (obviously false) impression that the Cetme was a copy, my apologies for the bad info.
I do not know if the PTR has non-interchangeable parts, i'll have to dig into that when I get a chance

Thanks, I'll certainly be doing more research if I decide to buy; with everything posted thus far, I've added a bunch of check-off boxes to the list.If you buy an older PTR or any Cetme built with surplus parts your going to want to get a good set of feeler gauges to check the head-space, if its off you can usually address it with different size rollers.
I fondled the PTR-32 (7.62x39 version) at the show on Friday.
Takes AK mags.
Much want.

Yeah, that's on the list too. I looked at one last weekend. It had the new style folder. I like the old style better too. I really have no opinion on which operating system is better. I've never shot anything with the roller delayed blowback to have an opinion worth anything.I ended up going with an SBR SIG 556xi Russian instead. Found one of the old, factory collapsing folding stocks for it. No real reason for going with the SIG instead, but I do prefer their gas-actuated piston-driven long stroke op system over HK's "roller locked delayed-blowback".
