Haven't seen one yet but here are the specs:

All parts are manufactured to original German Military specifications.

Receivers are manufactured from (.059) steel. Original Military bases, mounts and scopes will fit this rifle.

Fitted with 18-inch high quality heat-treated steel, heavy target barrel with 1 in 12 inches twist polygonal rifling for superb accuracy.

A one piece, high quality forged, heat-treated, CNC finished, almost indestructible cocking handle with excellent ergonomics for easier operation and handling. This is better than anything produced today!

A brand new, laser-cut to exacting military specs, heat-treated front sight. There is also a brand new, high quality knurled aluminum end cap.

Rear sight, brand new, French-style peep sight on the rear dioptor with a knurled target knob for adjustable windage without the use of special tools.

This semi-automatic, recoil-operated rifle with delay roller is equipped with a most desirable two-stage target trigger, allowing much better control than a single stage trigger

Sold with a 20 Round magazine, the rifle will also accept a 5 and 10 round box magazine.

Manufactured from high quality polymer, the sturdy, attractive furniture consists of a pistol grip, hand guard and stock.

A brand new fully machined trunnion manufactured to original German military specifications. to our knowledge, ours is the ONLY new trunnion on the market.

I just noticed this gun on page 41 of CDNN's newest flyer..

I wonder how good they are..They have them listed for $789.00, which doesn't sound that bad. I wonder if the gun is a lemon or not..;) ;)

[Tamara]

...so figure somewhere around nine bills street.

Who's making them?

[Schuey2002]

Tamara, the ad in CDNN says that they are called a "PTR-91" 308 Target and that's it..

No full name is given.;)

[another48hrs]

Here's the website.

http://www.jldenter.com/PTR-91%20Rifle.html

If it's good it'd make a nice Billy Zane Sniper Project. :D

[Schuey2002]

After doing a search I came up with this name.. JL Denter.
PTR=Precision Target Rifle

www.jldenter.com
I can't find this gun on their site, just a section called 'parts kits' but, they don't actually show anything.;)

[Schuey2002]

Thanks for the link, Another48hrs.;)

The link that I tried didn't show anything.

[SteyrAUG]

Got this in a "new product" update from one of my dealer associations.

And they are in no way associated with SW. The company is in CT.

I'll know more when I contact them for terms.

From the specs they are on the right track, German Spec, polygon barrel and two stage target trigger. Suppossedly the sticker price will be under $1000.

[Schuey2002]

And they are in no way associated with SW
I was wondering if they had ties to Todd's SW...;)

Steyr Aug, that is music to my ears..:D

[SteyrAUG]

Schuey2002, yeah this one might actually work. :D

If Toad blasts it we'll know for sure it is good. ;)

[another48hrs]

That sounds great SteyrAUG. I can't wait when you get the info on it. I already've been thinking about the setup I want it in.

[Schuey2002]

If Toad blasts it we'll know for sure it is good.
Ain't that the truth.. :D

I hope he does bad mouth it on his site, it'll just make me want one all the more..;)

[SteyrAUG]

another48hrs, LOL nice photo cut and paste. Are you a certified Special Weapons armorer? :D

Seriously though I was thinking along the same lines given the Poly Hbar and two stage trigger.

[another48hrs]

"Are you a certified Special Weapons armorer? "
That's low blow SteyrAUG, hehe:D. Judging by the photochopped picture I posted, I too would believe I do the design work for SW.(Tactical Weapon's Website= :barf: ) I don't know the quality of his products, but the design is just wrong.

[Schuey2002]

I don't know the quality of his products
Trust me, the less you know, the better off you are.. :D

[goon]

Back to the clone..
I am torn by half a dozen different choices, including two AK's and a couple of FAL varients. I also saw that one in CDNN's latest issue. Somebody buy one and tell me if they are any good.
I don't wanna be the guinea pig..:D
Currently, I could muster the money for one of them, but not all.
It really sucks, but I have to prioritize.:(

Some interesting information. Turns out CDNN does not have, and never did have, these rifles. HOWEVER, they have them listed on their "Closeouts" page at a below dealer cost.

I'm wondering how you have a liquidation sale on firearms you never had in inventory. Of course CDNN is famous for this type of thing and why I don't use them as a reliable supplier.

After a bit more poking around I don't think ANYONE has these rifles yet I'm gonna go to the source this week and see what I can find out.

[Schuey2002]

Huh??:confused: Then why would they show them in their flyer??:rolleyes:

That was not a very nice thing to do..:fire:

[SteyrAUG]

They do it CONSTANTLY.

Drives me nuts.

First I get guys all day long thinking I can get them one that cheap. Then when I occassionally consider using them as a source, they don't have it at all, never did, and often never will.

[Bergeron]

Will the wide forearm be offered as an option, and if not, will it still be capable of taking the wide forearm?

[Lars]

I wonder when they are going to be avalible? I called CDNN today and they said to call back next week.

[SteyrAUG]

CDNN might never get them.

I have heard from a few places that the deal fell through.

One of the many reasons I don't do business with CDNN.
