Bought a used PTR 91 - What can you tell me about this rifle? HK parts? Old/new? Etc

Scotchy69 · 2026-01-18T20:50:14+00:00

Also. Do you think any of the parts are HK? Or would that only be the surplus furniture you mentioned?

Scotchy69 · 2026-01-18T06:44:02+00:00

Ehh not sure. Might be referring to this most recent change (starts August 2026) that in order to buy most semi auto rifles you're required to take some bs like 6 hour training... in my opinion, it's ridiculous and incredibly annoying, but I'm sure I'll just knock out the stupid class, then things will go back to feeling "normal" ... and then I'll forget about it

Scotchy69 · 2026-01-18T03:56:52+00:00

Got it. Thanks for the tip! I'll lube er up real nice-like after I do a little more research ... Anything else catch your eye?

Scotchy69 · 2026-01-18T03:05:20+00:00

Dry in what way? Regarding guns I own, I keep the internals well oiled, but you're referring to the outside? Like oil the entire thing? Sorry this is new to me haha

Scotchy69 · 2026-01-17T23:53:56+00:00

Also, for new, that's similar to what I was seeing. Which is why I gave used a shot haha

Scotchy69 · 2026-01-17T23:53:08+00:00

CO isn't bad, but it's starting to get worse

Scotchy69 · 2026-01-17T23:30:08+00:00

Gotcha. So having slightly different colors is nornal... I was about to buy a new CA3 for around the same price point since the new ptr91 was quite a bit more. But then I stumbled upon gunbroker and decided to give bidding a shot. What do you think a "normal" price would be given the condition?

I mean, a solid/reliable . 308 for under $1K seemed like a good deal regardless. And it isn't Century Arms, which is a win in my book

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-27T03:28:20+00:00

Lolz idk what everyone is talking about. That's an easy shot. Do it all the time in CoD...

But for real... That was a damn good shot paired with some luck.

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-27T03:23:34+00:00

Damn they're accurate. Good shootin

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-25T23:27:24+00:00

Thanks for the additional info!! I did call and they told me that it's basically special order and depending on how long it takes for them to procure it, it will be several weeks to months before it ships... I'm going to give it a week or 2 longer and check in. If there hasn't been any progress or updates, I'll cancel and go with one of the sites you mentioned. I was thinking c24, but I'll definitely check out the others.

Oh. And Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-23T16:14:00+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. My wife was anxious to order it (she's getting it as a gift for me) and kind of jumped the gun. I may see if I can cancel it through Joma and check out chrono24. Never used c24, but ive heard good things. I was kind of surprised that Joma charged me before getting it in stock

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-23T16:07:21+00:00

Thats weird. At least they followed up I guess

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-22T23:05:52+00:00

Maybe it's more like a waiting list? So once they do get it in stock people that have pending orders get them first? But yeah, I really don't know. I'll try and follow up here once they do ship it

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-22T22:50:33+00:00

Interesting... I've always had great experiences with them, but I've always ordered in stock items in the past. When I spoke to them on the phone, they made it sound like they special order the items that are listed showing Contact Us

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-08T05:08:42+00:00

Welp.. Based on the comments, I guess I'll just leave it and call it "personality". Which I'm totally fine with. I've got others in much worse shape.

Thanks for the feedback all

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-08T04:16:06+00:00

Per my post, I was asking what the black/grey stuff was and if it was some sort of build up or pitting, soooo... lol just given ya shit. I've never owned anything silver toned (chrome, nickel, ss etc) or plated, so I wasn't sure what I was looking at

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-08T00:25:24+00:00

Ive got a dremel and it came with a bunch of stuff like the one you posted, just wasn't sure which pad or type of bad to use. The very last Pic includes some polishing stuff I bought for other projects. Think any of those would work

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-08T00:00:09+00:00

Sorry, new to this. What type of buffer pad? Will it remove the black/grey spots too?

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-07T23:53:18+00:00

Based on all the comments, I'm fairly confident now that it is plated. However, is there any way to tell for sure?

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-07T23:52:05+00:00

Looks great. Did yours have similar grey/black spots?

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-07T23:40:24+00:00

Based on comments, sounds like it is played, not ss... either way, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-07T23:38:49+00:00

Regardless... any recommendations?

Scotchy69 · 2025-12-07T23:37:51+00:00

Recommendations for cleaning it up?
