In Germany, I was allowed to use the G3 during my time in the Bundeswehr. I held this great weapon in my arms while sleeping. During the first target shooting, I won a case of beer. Danke für die schönen Erinnerungen :-)
Just a note from a PTR owner, PTR licensed the HK patents. It's not a simple HK clone, it's an exact, licensed duplicate, built to HK specs. All the parts/accessories are fully compatible. One of its best features is how fast and easy it is to field strip and clean - no tools required! It's one of the best firearms I've ever owned. First time I've seen anyone shoot those 5 gal water bottles long ways like that. Very impressive. I'm going to have to try that one sometime. Unfortunately, I'm not currently in possession of my PTR, because I live in a state with a little Moussilini for a governor, and was forced to send mind to live with an out of state relative - until SCOTUS gets around to explaining to him what "shall not be infringed" means (or we finally muster enough Republican votes to kick his fat ass to the curb).
Great deal. I got mine for $1300, then I bought another 12 mags for $50. They really are super budget-friendly and well made and rugged as hell, I absolutely love these rifles. I think of them as "the AK of 308".
9 minutes in and barely a single comment. TH-cam has been throttling comments and holding for review. I never used to have a delay whatsoever in comments posting. Only in the last several months. And many time comments will only show if you choose "new" comments as opposed to the default "top" comments.
There's a box when you upload it says something like "hold for review" or something. I didn't realize it was youtube people deciding whether they approved I thought it would go to the youtuber to decide. I'll keep that unchecked from here henceforth
The HK&K G3 was pretty much a clone of the Spanish CETME, which predated it. The HK91 was a semiauto civilian version of the G3. The PTR91 is a licensed copy of the HK91. I have a Century C308, which is pretty much the same as the HK91 and PTR91, but is made using a mix of new parts and some surplus CETME parts. Don't know what the magazines sell for these days. When I got my C308, they were dirt cheap, and I bought a ton of them. Unissued surplus 20 round magazines were less than $4 each. I also got a huge pile of mag pouches. Not sure, but I think the PTR, just like the original CETME, has a fluted chamber. You'll probably notice striping on the expended brass casings. Nice thing about that is, they're 100% reliable with steel cased ammo.... which is hard to get now, due to the whole Russia / Ukraine thing. Some years back, you had the blue plastic .308's all over the place cheap. They were made for use in the G3. You might still be able to get a lightweight training bolt, that will cycle the blue .308's. I don't think you can get the blue .308's anymore, though.
When the round hit the first jug, it was pushed against the second one which forced the water to go the path of least resistance which was towards you.
In the 80s, the designation PTR 91,CAL 7.62, and PTR 93 cal 556, the 3. I have are old. The first one I bought has cement firearms designation PTR 91. The other demilitarized torche cut. I had planned to build but I have not aged ( arthritis) so now they are stored. I enjoy watching your channel
The Norma Whitetail ammo is for hunting deer so that’s why it stayed intact, don’t want lead/jacket fragments in your deer meat. The Hornady Critical Defense is supposed to fragment causing critical damage. Awesome video buddy, keep up the great work! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸TRUMP 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I really like the Midwest Industries aluminum MLok handguards for these rifles. For a more traditional look the AC Unity wide polymer handguards are a nice alternative if you can't find the original HK ones.
Back in the late 70's I dropped by my local Firestone dealer, A family friend owned the place and they did a little of everything, besides tires. They did mechanical work on cars, sold appliances, and firearms. My friend had a HK 91 hanging on the wall. My jaw dropped and I started drooling. I asked to see it and he handed me the rifle. It was in pristine condition, I pulled the mag and couldn't find a mark on it. I ask the dealer where he got it and was told he took it in trade, for repairing a transmission on a car. The owner was from another state and broke down while passing through. I asked the price and he told I could have it for what the repair cost was, $400. I passed on it. If I had told the owner I'd give him $20 and paid it off, so much a week, he would have agreed. But I let it pass. I still cry about it, sometimes. At that time, they sold NIB for $800.
I too had always wanted an H&K 91...and years ago got one to evaluate along with an M1A and FAL. I still have the M1A and FAL....the 91 is long gone. It was very accurate and reliable, but compared to the other two rifles the trigger was lousy, the recoil much more harsh and the things are an absolute BEAR to clean. Not to mention it murdered my brass which I reload and back in the early '90's the magazines were scarce and around $100 each so putting up a good supply prohibitively expensive. Sad to say....about two months after I got rid of the 91 the flood of cheap surplus magazines became available and that would have changed the calculation a bit whether to say goodby to the 91. Interesting video as always...thanks!
@@irysh9 When the Berlin Wall fell...and Germany reunited they had a glut of weapons and surplussed a bunch...including G3 mags. So up until then you had to go through H&K for the mags and they were crazy expensive. After the glut of surplus aluminum mags came in...yep..$3 a pop. Made me sick...but the 91 was gone by then so...oh well.
MUHHH RELOADS!! Says the brass goblin… I’m totally kidding. I wish I had a M1 and FAL. I love my 91 but it completely chews and spits casings. I want to send my trigger pack to Bill Springfield but my pew budget has ADHD.
If she doesn't approve, try a Century arms C-308. Bought one new for 699 when they were released. I know, I know Century arms sux but, at that price I took a chance and was extremely pleased. I've got about 3k through mine with no bobbles. I have an in-law that probably has triple that through his with no issues to my knowledge.
I had one of these rifles for a while many years ago (around 2006ish I think). I literally traded one of the 3 SKS rifles I paid $75 each for (they were still packed in Cosmoline when I got all 3 of them too lol) and $125 for it.... Worst part of it all, is I sold it due to being hard up for cash at the time... Man I wish I could go back in time and sell something else instead of this...
I'm glad to see this classic design competently cloned and available! I bought a new HK91 for $750 in downtown San Francisco in 1985. Things sure have changed! Ha! I still have it, all upgraded (including a Williams Set Trigger) and it's a beautiful shooter. A Tavor 7 has replaced it in the survival arsenal, but it's my precious Black Beauty and going to be passed down in the family.
DUDE!!! Great vid! A co-worker just got rid of a PTR-91. I was sad my wallet said no. I like the demo of the hollowpoint/defense rounds. Great vid, thanks!
I love my PTR, I've done a bit of trigger work and put a muzzle brake on it, it shoots like a dream. I also made some trigger stops in the trigger pack to decrease pre and over travel so it only travels as far as it needs to to fire and reset, it's much faster that way especially on top of the 4.5lb pull weight I got it down to as well as the minimal trigger creep (I cut the hammer hook down to .015" thou tall), she's a real shooter now. The PTR seemed to get a bit of a bad rap when it was introduced but I don't know WTF those people are talking about, it's my favorite rifle now.
Water pretty much destroys bullets very quickly, unlike in the movies where they travel 10 or so yards underwater. I’ve seen 5.56 shot towards ballistics gel only 3 ft under and not hit it. Same with 7.62s. What you do get, is amazing blowouts when fired into water jugs!👍😉😄😄
Thats super cool, I always liked the hk design. Unfortunately even a half price clone is way more than I can spend. I have a bca (poor tier) side charge ar10 that is actually quite decent considering i spent less than 500$ to get into a .308 semi automatic rifle that shoots quite well. Believe it or not I've got multiple sub moa groups out of it, it seems to really like 168gr smk shocker I know, cheap gun shoots expensive ammo well 😂
I've always wanted a Scar 17 or FN Fal. The PTR is also on that list but my bank account keeps saying "ain't gonna happen". Was awesome to see one on here!!
I used the AK4 back in the days here in Sweden, i ordered a Ptr gir 101 11 month ago. It's gona be here soon, it's the only thing i want when it comes to battle rifles. After August the first last year all hell broke loose! Before that it was impossible to get one on hunting permit ;)
I picked up a PTR 32 a few years ago. I had so many AK's that I wanted something else in that caliber. Heavy but robust I put the Shooting Sight FCG in it and get good results with good ammo.
Love my PTR 91, and I managed to get the old school look edition with the square fore grip and bought an HK 91 pistol grip replacement it looks amazing with a Vortex scope to reach out long distances.
I don’t recall this rifle is this loud. I do have an HK91 though. Anything you shoot at that range is overkill however but it makes an aesthetic presentation 👍
My FFL has a couple OG G3's with the proper functioning (select fire). He used to take groups of people out for a nominal fee and as long as they bought the ammo...they could full auto there way through Thompsons, FALs, M4s, G3, etc.
@fujimi715 Yes, it was kido. There is plenty of training manuals showing the usage of fullauto with certain setups. You certainly dont understand the history.
PTR’s are crazy good for how cheap they are. I got mine new for under $900. You just can’t get another 308 fighting rifle for that. Let alone one that’s AK reliable and almost ar15 accurate. Such a good buy. Although I personally like the FAL more. Even being more expensive and less accurate. The g3 clone is an outrageously high value
I saw this PTR-91 in a local gun store here in Florida, I picked it up and was immediately impressed with the manufacturing quality. Christmas is not far off , and this year I want a world renown battle rifle in .308 . Shop around these guns are readily available in OD Green and Magpul FDE colors , they also make a pistol version, I saw them at the Atlantic Firearms website under $1,200.00 Now that is a deal , your great grandchildren will be shooting this rifle.
When you used the critical,defence shell and showed it in slow motion,you could see the bullet scruntch the plastic bottle in some like an accordion. Check it out since you didn't comment on it.
I bought one a few yrs back the GI model had green plastic furniture on it I ditched that garbage and bought original HK wood furniture and it’s beautiful and shoots just like yours it’s a keeper.🎯 I’ve shot all kinds of ammo through it and it’s never hiccup one time but it tears the hell out of the brass and they fly about 20ft. Mine stays n a 3in circle at 100 so I can’t complain great battle rifles. Great video if I had the connections like u I would love to try some Federal Gold medal match r a few other real good match ammo 168 r 175 through it to really see what she could do.🎯 nice to know what your weapon is capable of doing and not capable.
I have an HK 91 with multiple accessories. While I like the PTR 91, my HK 91 was bought in the mid 1970s. It does not have the paddle release like the PTR 91. I need to scope this rifle but I want a real scope that works reliably and will not break the bank.
A old Leupold shotgun scope, 1 to 4 x or a new Leupold shotgun scope. Not too big, not too expensive. About the size of the original German rifle scope.
Awesome explosion. Water cannot compress, so if you put it up against a solid surface or a heavy object the water will move in the only way it can to escape the pressure. I'll bet there was sonoluminescence as well
Wanted one for years but something always pushed me away from the buy button, if they added classic style wide foregrips like the classic HKs I'd buy in a heartbeat!
For accuracy I've found that my two PTR-91s both seem to like 147gr M80 ball 7.62x51 the best. I get 1.5 to 1.75 inch groups at 100 yards. Mine do not seem to like the heavier .308 loads as much and the groups open up a bit.
As far as I'm concerned this is the top of the heap when talking about battle rifles of the era. I hear a lot of chatter about the recoil impulse and attribute the majority of it to internet parrots repeating what they "heard". Recoil is subjective and of the .308/7.62x51 semi auto rifles I own, my just under 8lb AR10 is the most comfortable shooter with the PTR #2 followed by the DSA/FAL #3 and M1A trailing behind. I'd say the AR and PTR are about equal in the reliability department followed by the FAL and the M1A dead last. As far as accuracy goes it's AR(by a wide margin), PTR, M1A and the DSA way behind(3-4 moa at best). If I had to pick one for their intended use, (although the AR has benefitted massively from development) I'd pick the PTR. It's never once malfunctioned, is very accurate, very shootable, has the best feel in my hands, cheap available mags, shoots any load and I'd say probably best reliability. FAL'feel long and unwieldy, have never been terribly accurate, and I hate the grip angle! The M1A has a certain cool factor but that's it for me. It's big, heavy, average accuracy with loads it likes(wildly inaccurate with ones it doesn't), and not terribly reliable. And the AR10 while extremely accurate, very ergonomic, fairly light and compact, excellent magazines that are reasonably priced and readily available comes with its own set of problems. Mainly being, no standardization! They're all over the map in build quality, price, and design. Parts incompatibility is really the deal breaker. With that said, my current best bang for the buck and favorite has been my Springfield Saint Victor.308. I had everything I want and nothing I don't for a decent price.
Supposedly, the Desert Tech MDX, I think it is is the best .308 battle rifle even though it's a bullpen. DemoRanch had one as did Ian McCollum and they both loved it.
Great rifle. Had one for a year in National sevice. Not allowed for civillians even if you throw a semi auto trigger pack in that has existed for over 50 years Very accurate and easy to clean. I always wondered why the the US Pulled the M14 back into service when they could readily buy or lease G3`s as DMR from friendly countries. MSG90 is an accurised version that was readily available. Even a lmg version of the G# was available.
That looked like fun, I would love to have a PTR--91, maybe some day. Other note, looking at the thumb-nail - Damn, you've got some tattoos! How many, if you don't mind my asking? They look great BTW...
You gotta check your barrel twist rate and buy ammo accordingly first off i see a lot of newbees throw away perfectly good guns because they have no clue how to match up the bullet weights with the twist rate they have - in a nut shell if you have a short fast T R you need big heavy rounds if you have a long slow T R then you can use greased lightning fast lightweight rounds .
A good basic rifle. You don't need to rock the magazine into it. Just insert it like an AR. Unless you want to prematurely wear out your rifle and magazines.
These were made in Aynor, SC for a while and could be found for a decent price about 6 years ago. Now the price is inflated like everything else. Nice setup though.🇺🇸
I will say that owning an Sig 716 AR 10 platform, HK-91a4 😂 it was cheaper than the Sig 716 patrol and I have a Zastava M77. The For the price of the Sig 716 Patrol I could buy almost 3 M77’s and the HK-91 I got back in 2012 for $2600, it’s dated to 1978. 30Hate is expensive and so are the weapons. The PAPM77 I bought brand new and way under cost
The HK clone is nice, but in the US parts and magazines will be easier to source for the AR10 platform. Had a 91 back in the day and sold it, as well as my FAL in favor of the commonality and ubiquity of the AR10 platform. Nice video though, even if our preferences differ.

I severely recommend getting a 36 degree locking piece for michael machines and putting it into this. It will reduce your recoil drastically and make it suppressor ready. Its like tuning an ar gas block.
The part is called a G17
Also, a heavy buffer goes a LONG way for these.
You would be amazed at how smooth they get.
This rifle is made on the same machines that produced the HK 91
From Portugal that got from Germany so it's second hand me down but still pretty good
In Germany, I was allowed to use the G3 during my time in the Bundeswehr. I held this great weapon in my arms while sleeping. During the first target shooting, I won a case of beer. Danke für die schönen Erinnerungen :-)

If I recall correctly, PTR actually imported the original tooling used to make the HK91/G3 from H&Ks factories in Germany.
@@Cowboycomando54 They may have, after HK stopped making them.
@@nahkohese555 Wasn't that back in the 2000s?
I read that PTR bought the machines and tooling from Portugal after they stopped building and using the G3 for their military.
Yeah they did have no idea where they got it from Germany is from
We used the HK G3 in the Swedish Defence. Well, still does, actually. Absolute monster!
.
This is one of my favorites in my collection. I got the gun and 24 mags with 300 rds off of a guy for $1200!!!!!
Great deal. I got mine for $1300, then I bought another 12 mags for $50. They really are super budget-friendly and well made and rugged as hell, I absolutely love these rifles. I think of them as "the AK of 308".
I like PTR, it’s one of the few fun american brands we can get in Sweden
Nice/Gött!
The roller locking system in that rifle dates all the way back to the StG44, the original sturmgewehr.
Man that water jug bukakke was hilarious!!!!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸TRUMP 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yup deer rounds normally stay around 90% intact. Them personal defense rounds by Hornady are like their varmint v max rounds.
My only gripe with the rifle is how quickly the front hand guard over heats, but this can be fixed with original HK or wood furniture.
I really like the Midwest Industries aluminum MLok handguards for these rifles. For a more traditional look the AC Unity wide polymer handguards are a nice alternative if you can't find the original HK ones.
Slow your rate of fire or change front hand guard.
Nice choice👌 I love my 18 inch model.
I really like that you try different ammunition with your firearms. Great content!

They are higher now but I remember when you could get mags for them for just under three bucks each, that was one of the big benefits to them.

It was awesome to see the projectile stuck in the piece of plastic in the slow-mo you could see it go straight into the neck of the bottle
Since you had one jug left you should have tested a FMJ also
I proudly have this one... it sure is fun and more accurate way downrange than one would expect.
Im just impressed that one of my favorite stores got some representation in the vid. Runnings has really upped their outdoors game the last few years.
One in a million shot to get caught successfully in that cap! Cool!
That water jug test ... WHAT THE DOLPHIN 🐬 😂 👍
❤ I like the white tail , the one that stayed intact

I'm fortunate to own an HK SR9T. 1 of about 300 to have made it into the U.S. It absolutely rules!
Love my HK41, big recoil but always reliable.
H&K firearms are excellent !!
Get the OG hand grip setup, swap over to a HK-21 handle and then you should be set.
I used to have a CETME and it was a fun rifle. Has a very unique recoil impulse.
Thank you on the informative "How to shower with your .308 hollow points", all you needed was a bar of soap, 😅🤣😂 Have a wonderful day .

The G3 weapon system is used on semi auto not full auto. Proper functioning of a rifle is semi auto
Actually it was used on auto in certain instances. Still is for various problems.
@brianpritchett7329 no it isnt....
@fujimi715 Yes, it was kido. There is plenty of training manuals showing the usage of fullauto with certain setups. You certainly dont understand the history.
@@zack9912000 LOL! learn how to fight. You don't use full auto on battle rifles or assault rifles
Congratulations on 400K ! 😎👍
Between those two cartridges, the White Tail all day long.
That bullet stuck in a cap was an anomaly. Quite amazing
PTR’s are crazy good for how cheap they are. I got mine new for under $900. You just can’t get another 308 fighting rifle for that. Let alone one that’s AK reliable and almost ar15 accurate. Such a good buy. Although I personally like the FAL more. Even being more expensive and less accurate. The g3 clone is an outrageously high value
I will be adding this to my collection after I finish the ol' Aero M5. Gorgeous rifle, bro!
The "Algorithm" is definitely watching everything that's going on with your channel... KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK!!👍
dammit i didnt need another gun added to the wishlisht i love that thing
Definitely a keeper 😊
I saw this PTR-91 in a local gun store here in Florida, I picked it up and was immediately impressed with the manufacturing quality. Christmas is not far off , and this year I want a world renown battle rifle in .308 . Shop around these guns are readily available in OD Green and Magpul FDE colors , they also make a pistol version, I saw them at the Atlantic Firearms website under $1,200.00 Now that is a deal , your great grandchildren will be shooting this rifle.
Your expression made me laugh out loud lol 😆
Great video
I wish people would say the price out loud when discussing it in a video.
When you used the critical,defence shell and showed it in slow motion,you could see the bullet scruntch the plastic bottle in some like an accordion. Check it out since you didn't comment on it.
I bought one a few yrs back the GI model had green plastic furniture on it I ditched that garbage and bought original HK wood furniture and it’s beautiful and shoots just like yours it’s a keeper.🎯 I’ve shot all kinds of ammo through it and it’s never hiccup one time but it tears the hell out of the brass and they fly about 20ft. Mine stays n a 3in circle at 100 so I can’t complain great battle rifles. Great video if I had the connections like u I would love to try some Federal Gold medal match r a few other real good match ammo 168 r 175 through it to really see what she could do.🎯 nice to know what your weapon is capable of doing and not capable.
I have an HK 91 with multiple accessories. While I like the PTR 91, my HK 91 was bought in the mid 1970s. It does not have the paddle release like the PTR 91. I need to scope this rifle but I want a real scope that works reliably and will not break the bank.
A old Leupold shotgun scope, 1 to 4 x or a new Leupold shotgun scope. Not too big, not too expensive. About the size of the original German rifle scope.
I got a chance to try a G3 when I trained with some German forces. It's an excellent rifle to use. Did you enjoy firing it?
12:38 dude that’s amazing probably never happened ever and you filmed it 👏🏼
Lmao hard @ the intro. Yes I absolutely love my Cetme C308. I know, I know, but it's super fun.
That's what I have, albeit heavily modded now. 100% reliable.
Awesome explosion. Water cannot compress, so if you put it up against a solid surface or a heavy object the water will move in the only way it can to escape the pressure. I'll bet there was sonoluminescence as well
The NORMA is a soft point not a hollow point I think?
Have one myself love it!!!
I got mine 15 years ago, love it. Thanks for the video.
about time you got one, the best rifle, dollar for dollar!
Wanted one for years but something always pushed me away from the buy button, if they added classic style wide foregrips like the classic HKs I'd buy in a heartbeat!
FINALLY a Video about the best fucking rifle in the world...or at least a clone
Congratulations 400k
I would pick one up if there was a better optics mounting option... given it would require a massive overhaul...
I get more excited about buying a new firearm from your channel than any other, now I need to put the PTR-91 on my list
For accuracy I've found that my two PTR-91s both seem to like 147gr M80 ball 7.62x51 the best. I get 1.5 to 1.75 inch groups at 100 yards. Mine do not seem to like the heavier .308 loads as much and the groups open up a bit.
As far as I'm concerned this is the top of the heap when talking about battle rifles of the era. I hear a lot of chatter about the recoil impulse and attribute the majority of it to internet parrots repeating what they "heard". Recoil is subjective and of the .308/7.62x51 semi auto rifles I own, my just under 8lb AR10 is the most comfortable shooter with the PTR #2 followed by the DSA/FAL #3 and M1A trailing behind. I'd say the AR and PTR are about equal in the reliability department followed by the FAL and the M1A dead last. As far as accuracy goes it's AR(by a wide margin), PTR, M1A and the DSA way behind(3-4 moa at best). If I had to pick one for their intended use, (although the AR has benefitted massively from development) I'd pick the PTR. It's never once malfunctioned, is very accurate, very shootable, has the best feel in my hands, cheap available mags, shoots any load and I'd say probably best reliability. FAL'feel long and unwieldy, have never been terribly accurate, and I hate the grip angle! The M1A has a certain cool factor but that's it for me. It's big, heavy, average accuracy with loads it likes(wildly inaccurate with ones it doesn't), and not terribly reliable. And the AR10 while extremely accurate, very ergonomic, fairly light and compact, excellent magazines that are reasonably priced and readily available comes with its own set of problems. Mainly being, no standardization! They're all over the map in build quality, price, and design. Parts incompatibility is really the deal breaker. With that said, my current best bang for the buck and favorite has been my Springfield Saint Victor.308. I had everything I want and nothing I don't for a decent price.
Supposedly, the Desert Tech MDX, I think it is is the best .308 battle rifle even though it's a bullpen. DemoRanch had one as did Ian McCollum and they both loved it.
How DARE you shoot a mtn dew voltage and not drink it. That soda is legendary and amazing
Great rifle. Had one for a year in National sevice. Not allowed for civillians even if you throw a semi auto trigger pack in that has existed for over 50 years Very accurate and easy to clean. I always wondered why the the US Pulled the M14 back into service when they could readily buy or lease G3`s as DMR from friendly countries. MSG90 is an accurised version that was readily available. Even a lmg version of the G# was available.
Wonder about the longivity/durability of this system. Especially if it was fitted with a chrome lined barrel
You were getting the shape affect off the jugs notice the tops of them smashed down
That looked like fun, I would love to have a PTR--91, maybe some day. Other note, looking at the thumb-nail - Damn, you've got some tattoos! How many, if you don't mind my asking? They look great BTW...
Mine is just a $1400 range toy. No matter what I do I can’t get the thing under 4 moa. Runs great though.
You gotta check your barrel twist rate and buy ammo accordingly first off i see a lot of newbees throw away perfectly good guns because they have no clue how to match up the bullet weights with the twist rate they have - in a nut shell if you have a short fast T R you need big heavy rounds if you have a long slow T R then you can use greased lightning fast lightweight rounds .
Love your content. M1A . The kick is so soft.
7:44 That worked
Fucking priceless I tell you 😂
Check into the PSA JAKL in 308. They should be releasing them soon, see if they can hook you up with one to review.
For hunting i would like the bullit to stay together so you wont get fragments in your meat. But i also think the name of the ammo say it all!
That's a sweet shooting son of gun
A good basic rifle. You don't need to rock the magazine into it. Just insert it like an AR. Unless you want to prematurely wear out your rifle and magazines.
These were made in Aynor, SC for a while and could be found for a decent price about 6 years ago. Now the price is inflated like everything else. Nice setup though.🇺🇸
I will say that owning an Sig 716 AR 10 platform, HK-91a4 😂 it was cheaper than the Sig 716 patrol and I have a Zastava M77. The For the price of the Sig 716 Patrol I could buy almost 3 M77’s and the HK-91 I got back in 2012 for $2600, it’s dated to 1978. 30Hate is expensive and so are the weapons. The PAPM77 I bought brand new and way under cost
The water jug is a shape charge and you probably can't get your deposit back. The intact slug from the second jug is merchandise.
I have wanted a semi auto battle rifle forever! Very very nice man!!
The HK clone is nice, but in the US parts and magazines will be easier to source for the AR10 platform. Had a 91 back in the day and sold it, as well as my FAL in favor of the commonality and ubiquity of the AR10 platform. Nice video though, even if our preferences differ.
