My PTR 91 is also very nice. Functions wonderfully and off the bench with handloaded ammo and the mil-spec Hensoldt & Wetzler 4x optic sight and mount will shoot in the 1 MOA range at 100 yrds. After shooting many hundreds of rounds I have had just one time a casing hit me in the face. And it did hurt. I attributed that to more my handloaded ammo than anything else. It does appear that the extraction process is a violent one and as I would like to try to reload the brass perhaps a couple of times before discarding I would really like to know where to get a port buffer. FYI, very important word of caution about this firearm. I know this from experience. When disassembling for cleaning be very careful not to let the trigger group fall to the ground when removing the buttstock. If you do there is a great chance of bending the ejector so as when the action cycles it will no longer follow in the slot in the bolt causing it to bind in the receiver. This can and will cause the bolt to FRACTURE! It resulted in my having to replace the entire firearm but JLD was more than decent about helping me with the cost inspite of my carelessness. I suggest replacing the stamped steel ejector that comes with the firearm with a machined ejector available from Numrich. It is much stronger and rigid. I have had the trigger reworked by Williams Trigger and it is well worth the money, gritty 14 lb pull to a smooth 5 lb pull.

I can think of several firearms that if the trigger group was dropped may very well render the firearm inoperative. M1 Garand, M1A, M1 carbine to mention a few. Would you consider these firearms inferior? This H&K type firearm has been used all over the world for years in all types of capacities. Truth is the fault was not with the firearm but with the operator. Condeming the firearm for this reason would be like beating your wife then faulting her for divorcing you. Point being DON"T DROP THE TRIGGER GROUP!
