PTR 91

[badkarma3370]

hello all. i have been in the galil forum for some time now and finally took the plunge and bought a ptr91 (HK way too much money). anyways. love the rifle. always wanted one. i think my collection is complete.

can anyone tell me where the serial number to the rifle is located? i have heard some talk of 'B', "F" prefixes that may be a fistful of problems.

thanks for the input.

Not sure about the serial numbers, if your rifle has a JLD receiver there's a chance it may have problems with the trunnion I believe.

look on the top rib of the reciever

Not sure about the F, but on the JLD guns A was built in house and B was just the receiver for a home build.
Run from the PTR guns with the Thompson barrels. The flutes aren't cut deep enough in the chamber.

I have a JDL A43XX serial number; which is on top of the receiver. It is the K model; which has a 16 inch barrel (F model is 18 inch barrel).

Not sure who manufactured the heavy barrel; but it is probably my most accurate .308.

It will eat any ammo i feed it with no FTF's. It also has tight groups out at 100 yards. Very reliable gun.

Have you found your serial number prefix?
