And, thanks to the efforts of South Carolina-based PTR Industries and its PTR-91 GI model, shooters have a chance to own a newly made version of this classic 7.62x51mm design.<\/p>\n<p>PTR Industries rifles are based on a Portuguese variant of the HK G3 military rifle. The company acquired HK-licensed tooling from Portugal and shipped it over to the United States to allow the company to produce a U.S.-made (and legal) semi-automatic variant of the select-fire military rifle design.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57738\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57738\" title=\"The G3 Is Back!

From its green stock set to its paddle-style magazine release, the GI PTR-91 looks like it has stepped right out of the 1970s and 1980s and into your hands.<\/p>\n<p>Recent updates to the GI model include the use of an all-steel trigger group housing rather than a polymer unit as on the company\u2019s other rifles. The lower is also marked with the original military rifle\u2019s three-position markings for added authenticity (although the rifle remains a semi-auto-only design). Also newly added to the design is the use of 5\/8&#215;24\u201d muzzle threading.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57736\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57736\" title=\"The G3 Is Back!

At its heart a delayed blowback design, the PTR-91 employs twin \u201crollers\u201d that lock into recesses located inside the rifle\u2019s trunnion. The force required to unlock these from the recesses keep the action closed long enough for chamber pressure to drop to safe levels. The result is a repeating rifle design that does not feature a rotating bolt or gas system of any sort, and is renowned for working under a wide range of harsh conditions. The PTR-91 GI continues this tradition and wears a tough matte-gray Parkerized finish on its steel parts.<\/p>\n<p>As with the original HK G3 design, the GI model is chambered in 7.62x51mm and feeds from a detachable box 20-round magazine (available in steel and aluminum versions). The overall length of the rifle is 40.5 inches and it features an 18-inch match grade barrel with an HK-style tapered profile. The rifle weighs in at a hefty 9.5 pounds.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_57737\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57737\" title=\"The G3 Is Back!
