Not here, I like (and own) H&K, but I won't pay 3x as much because it has those two letters on it.I sense a great deal of animosity towards HK?
Well...that about sums that up. I do own an HK (not a G3, HK-91, nor do I own a PTR-91 right now), but I have experience with both and wouldn't pay for the difference; nor do I don't purchase any rifle for a better resale (there are better investments than rifles), I buy em' cause I like to shoots em'.I'd buy the HK because...BTW I don't own any HK products, I think they are all overpriced.
I have to agree with that. I think anything except for food holds value better than 'puters....a purchase that holds its value a bit better than say a computer.
Yep.As for the HK vs PTR copy...If I were buying it to impress my friends at the rod and gun club, I'd buy the HK...If I were buying it to shoot, I'd get the PTR-91
z-michigan saith: The G3 armorer's tool kit actually includes a hammer for removing dents (which cause the bolt carrier to hang up).Yes, it has a pretty good reputation for real world reliability, but I don't know of any other gun, including the stamped AKM, that can be readily disabled by denting its receiver.
Wow, I don't know what would be better the DPMS with PMags that are relatively cheap and very reliable/durable, or the CMMG with G3 mags that are the cheapest mags available and still very reliable. Just my 99 cents (G3 mags ), but I think I would have to take the CMMG.At some point this year, CMMG is supposed to be releasing a .308 AR platform that accepts G3 mags
bk1 - This battle rifle that was supposed to be dead nuts reliable couldn't properly cycle surplus ammo. Even the PRVI M80 ammo would not cycle. After then doing more research (keep in mind this was a couple months later by this time) I discovered that many people had this same issue. Basically, the barrel they put in was optimized for accuracy, not reliability. The solution is to put in a HK made barrel which runs $200+ just for the barrel.
My buddy's functioned fine with steel cased Monarch; supposedly questionable for a fluted chamber like this.
I would suggest that the standard AR10 mags are better, now that there are $19 .308 Pmags, $20 CP stainless mags
There are no "standard AR10" mags. There are two styles, seemingly modified M14 mags, but they are not interchangeable. There is the original Armalite/Knight's type and the DPMS type. During the ban jigs were sold to modify M14 mags, results were spotty as good M14 mags weren't easy to find then either.
I can't verify it, but one of the gun show magazine dealers I trust (sounds like and oxymoron in the making ) says the PMag will be DPMS style. He didn't know if Armalite style would follow or not.
C-Products mags have been hit and miss for me, I've been able to fix most all of them, but can't recommend them as you shouldn't need to be filing feed lips (for bolt clearance) or replacing springs on new mags.
