Just thought I'd post a bit about my PTR-91 Classic.
The availability of spare parts and magazines for this rifle are fairly good to great. Just have a look at HK Parts or RTG Parts to see what I mean about the spare parts. And I know where I can get magazines for $1.80 each, shipping included. Of course I have to order 100 to get that price. That's ok, I'd be lucky to get 10 mags for the same $180.00 for any of the other candidates I was considering (M1A, DSA FAL, some AR variant).
So far, I have 120 flawless rounds through this rifle.
Here are a few photos.
First, the rifle as received.
Next, with the collapsible stock.
A close up of the receiver area showing the steel lower and wood hand grip that replaced the Navy polymer lower.
And last, an overall shot with the steel lower.
Next on the agenda, a few coats of True Oil for the stock and hand guard to make them more closely match the wood hand grip. The grip was made by a member of another forum. Then, I'll add a paddle magazine release.
The rifle was on at 50 yards out of the box. Using the 200 meter aperture and shooting PMC Bronze (147 gr FMJBT), I was getting 1.5 to 2 inch groups (standing, off hand) when I did my part.
