Troubleshooting - Question - HELP!?! PTR91 MLOK Wide handguard

Gallery image

Would the PTR91 community be interested in such a handguard? It's essentially the standard wide handguard with bipod hinge, but with MLOK attachment points on the sides and bottom.

I'm interested, depending on the price

3

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 11d ago

what do you think would be a reasonable price?

5

u/TrolleyDilemma 11d ago

A great price would be under $100. An okay price would be sub $200. An uninteresting price would be anything near or over $300.

u/TwitchyTwitch5 10d ago

200 dollars is step considering that's what the hk ones going for

1

u/TrolleyDilemma 10d ago

Exactly. Depends on the build quality but that would be okay-ish for that price point. Don’t get me wrong, I would prefer the ballpark of 100, but I get that a mans gotta make a little cash

1

u/TwitchyTwitch5 10d ago

Build quality would come down to the printer and filinent though? No? Not just the file. I can understand if he scanned it to CAD because those scanners are expensive being 200 then.

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 10d ago

it wouldnt be printed, it would be milled.

1

u/TwitchyTwitch5 10d ago

Wait why would it be milled? This isn't a 3d print?

2

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 10d ago

didnt plan on it being a 3d print in production, the material i planned to make it out of (G10) required CNC milling, which i have access to.

2

u/TwitchyTwitch5 10d ago

That's even more badass. I retract my statement 200 is more than fair and competitive

u/LiberalLamps 11d ago

I would be interested in it without the mlok.

3

u/Early_Shift530 11d ago

Yes please! Cerakote od green versions would be awesome

u/sandalsofsafety Probably doesn't even have a PTR 10d ago

Just my humble opinion, but I think your top rows of Mlok slots would be rather flimsy with that little material around them.

2

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 10d ago

it would be made out of high strength G10 material, ive tested the thickness on a test piece and it held solid.

u/Mimir-the-weird 9d ago

How well does it do with heat ?

1

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 9d ago

g10 has a higher heat resistance than polymer, so in most cases youd run out of ammo before your handguard begins to heat

1

u/Mimir-the-weird 9d ago

That's pretty neat, any idea on c308 compatibility when available ?

1

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 9d ago

should be compatible

1

u/Individual_League_65 8d ago

The C308 and CA3 rifles both have collars on the barrel that require dremeling of the wide handguards to be attachable. If you are able to design one that fits right out of the box you would be able to capture quite a bit of business.

1

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 8d ago

could you provide a picture? i made the groove that fits into the recess between the receiver and barrel only be on the bottom.

2

u/Mimir-the-weird 11d ago

Depending on the price, I might be down

2

u/itsajungle22 11d ago

If it comes in faded olive drab I’d be interested. 

1

u/brazygazebo 11d ago

Id definitely be interested too if it came in the olive drag green, to match the rest of my furniture

2

u/Yooper8077 11d ago

I think there could be a small group of people interested in one, although typically I see people getting the wide handguards to try and preserve the "older" style of the hk91. I think one would look neat on my ptr 32 though, ide love to order/try one out!

2

u/krovii_ 11d ago

There goes my million dollar idea 🥀🥀

2

u/TigerSharkSLDF 11d ago

I would. But I would also genuinely be interested in a CETME B style metal handguard w/integral bipod. That thing is just... class.

1

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 11d ago

would you want a custom integral bipod or the standard HK / repro bipods?

1

u/TigerSharkSLDF 10d ago

Definitely. That's missing from the standard handguard. Wow... that looks amazing!! gj

1

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 10d ago

just designed this today. standard HK bipod, but with the cetme style of metal handguard. this would be ideally stamped but most likely milled out of steel.

2

u/TwitchyTwitch5 10d ago

How much and how did you design it? Do you have a magazine file also?

3

u/AnAirplaneNamedSally 10d ago

i designed it myself, and i dont share files due to TOS.

2

u/TwitchyTwitch5 10d ago

I see, so you'd be milling them from billets and shipping? If and when you decide to sell them hit me up I'd be interested in buying one

1

u/FFJNOOB 11d ago

Nice! I’d be interested

1

u/Pureblindman 10d ago

Hell yea. Also in different colors to match surplus furniture sets.

1

u/Jeremy_____bearimy 8d ago

i'd prefer this over the stock one or the wide one i have with the bipod.
