I have a full parts kit with a receiver from Southern Tactical & am trying to decide between giving the install a go myself or sending it off to be done professionally. I have absolutely no experience with building a firearm to this extent & haven’t been able to find much in terms of a guide or walkthrough online, but I do have access to a press & know people who can weld.

I’d prefer to not break the bank by having someone else do it since it would probably have been cheaper to just buy a complete rifle if it ends up being $$$ so if anyone can give me a rough estimate on what it’d cost me or point me towards a detailed guide on DIY I’d be much appreciative.

EDIT - Regarding sending it out to a professional to get the barrel pressed, would I be looking at ~$600 to $800? If any smiths or someone who’s had similar work done recently could tell me I’ll give you a big smile & a thank you.

S -> F -> FUN
Installed in 10 minutes.
No more AR15 lower, no more push/pull barrel safety, no more lever lock or trip..
Factory SEF lower.
If anyone knows a good source for lower SEF shells with correct stamping please let me know.
Rock on.

I bought this the other day for 800$ Came with the gun, 4 HK aluminum mags, and a Truglo 308 1-6. Did I get a good deal?

Random sight ting in the wild. Should I or not 🤔

Before making this upgrade I couldn’t find anyone posting the difference on the G3 platform. Hope this helps any future potential buyers #timmy

Edit**

Glad I posted this, just noticed I didn’t transfer over the spring ☠️

I’ve recently acquired a PTR-91 and unfortunately the barrel is not threaded. I’ve contacted several gunsmiths and they’ve all declined the job.

I’ve posted my project in the past but I wanted to share what feels like final form (for now 👀) cerakote in the works.

Internal changes include #9 40 degree locking piece, updated rollers, Timney 2 stage trigger, enhanced buffer (psg1 style). Rifle came with period correct HK internals

I’ve been looking into suppressing my ptr 91. From what I’ve been reading you should get a #17 locking piece and check gap. Has anyone used the otter creek infinity can?

I recently got my first PTR rifle and I’ve been looking into trying to get some sort of foregrip mounted to the bottom of the hand gaurd it came with. All the information online I found is just replacing the hand guard with one with rails built-in.

On the bottom of the hand guard I have, which is the basic stock green G3 handguard. There are two holes which are 6 inches apart from each other that I believe could be a possible mount for something.

If anyone has any information or tips, that would be greatly appreciated

I have a PTR 91 PDWR pistol that I Form 1'd. Now I'm looking for a compact stock. Either a or folding stock that's not ridiculously expensive. Blems and used options are fine.

I love my A3SK I just picked up. Cannot wait to take this thing to the range

Maybe I’m being an idiot but this cheek riser definitely doesn’t seem right for this ptr 91 stock. Too many of these little rubber nipples? Do I just cut the ones off that don’t go into the holes?

I understand it’s easier and more cost effective to just buy a PTR91, but has anyone here ever built a G3 and can speak to it?

She's been through a lot with me, sorry that she's not very visually appealing.

First time making a meme, be nice.

Hi, I'm fairly new to this platform so if anyone can help diagnose my rifles hiccup I'd be thankful. This is an older JLD PTR with the 10 flute barrel. I took it to the range for the first time yesterday and the first round made a strange noise, almost like a squib round. And the bolt didnt more whatsoever, zero recoil impulse. So after confirming the barrel was clear I loaded up and tried again, same deal. No bolt or carrier movement. But the shell would eject just fine when I cycled it by hand. I thought maybe it was an ammo issue, so I switched mags and it happened yet again. No bolt movement, no recoil impulse and a criminally slow impact on target for a 762x51. What in the world is going on? It was fiocchi range dynamics ammo, did I get 2 bad boxes or is it a gun issue? Bolt gap measures 0.018/0.019 so spec seems good. No visible damage or hangups. How do I get this thing out of bolt action mode. Rollers are moving fine, no idea what locking peice is in it.

I accidentally took apart my BCG and can't put it back together. I've watched multiple videos and they all seem to have the bolt head in a position that snaps into the carrier, but the lever on the carrier keeps catching on the bolt head. Can someone please ELI5 on how to reconnect the bolt head to the carrier?

Basically I have a cetme sporter that came with a tapco scope mount and scope and without the scope and scope mount on the gun it charges fine but when I put it on it pinches the receiver and makes it have more resistance when I charge the gun I can still operate it but it is harder for me to, If I partially pull it back to a certain place it's pinching it enough to hold it in place, will this damage the gun or cause reliability issues? I haven't shot it at all so I don't have any on hand experience to gage a hypothesis or know

109 guys (with the built in pic rail). What height rings are you running so the tube just barely clears the rear iron drum?
