Hey guys! Well I'm getting ready to take a business trip where I will be able to save and earn some nice pay while I'm gone. When I get back, I want to buy this rifle:
It's a PTR 91 GI rifle made by PTR Industries. It's based off the German Heckler & Koch G3 battle rifle, my all-time favorite weapon ever. This model looks to be based off the basic infantry version of the G3, which is what I want, and is priced at about $900 and maybe less from most sources I've seen. It also has pretty good reviews. So everything looks great except one thing... due to some some crazy ATF laws or whatever, the original paddle magazine release of the G3 is absent from these PTR rifles. Instead, a mag release buton is added to the right of the mag well just like on an AR-15, but unlike the AR the PTR's button is located too far forward for most users and supposedely isn't easy to use. Also I don't like how it messes up the manual of arms of the real G3.
But, I've learned that it's possible to add the original G3 paddle release as long as some steps are taken to keep it legal. I plan on getting this modification done to my rifle. Does anyone know who I can take/send it to who does this? Really this is just about the ONLY thing that's holding me back. I want to be certain there is someone out there who can do this mod for me once I get back and get this cool rifle in hand.
If anybody can help me with this, please let me know! Thanks!
