[QUOTE="saltydog, post: 1628640, member: 1086"] I have both, the AR15 and a PTR91. The PTR91 that I bought had problems first time out to the range. Broken bolt after 2 mags. Sent it back to PTR and they repaired it by replacing the American made bolt with an original HK bolt. Works Ok now. Now I hear they are having problems with some of their trunions being to soft. I hear this on some of the newer GI models. Plus side, 20 round aluminum mags are dirt cheap. 98 cents a piece! In any case, I would get the AR15. Easy to fix. Don't get me wrong I like the 91 but I would not want to deal with those kind of problems again after I drop $1000 bucks for a new rifle. To this day my PTR 91 will not feed surplus ammo. Reason has something to do with the type of barrel I have. The rifle will shoot factory .308 all day. My point? If it won't feed every kind of ammo I buy then I don't want it. My AR15 does. Want a 91? Buy a real HK91 or buy the JLD built 91 clone. JMO.... [/QUOTE]
