Manufactured in the United States by PTR Industries, the PTR91 is built to the same high standards as the original G3, offering a durable and reliable option for civilian shooters. Chambered in the powerful 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) cartridge, the PTR91 is known for its accuracy, robust construction, and adaptability, making it a popular choice among enthusiasts, hunters, and tactical shooters. At the heart of the PTR91 is its roller-delayed blowback action, a hallmark of the G3 design. This system uses rollers to delay the rearward motion of the bolt, ensuring that chamber pressures have dropped to safe levels before extraction occurs.

The roller-delayed blowback system also contributes to the rifle’s accuracy, as it provides consistent and controlled cycling of the action. The PTR91 is constructed using high-quality materials, with a heavy-gauge steel receiver that provides excellent durability and stability. The barrel is made from cold hammer-forged steel and is designed for long-term use. The barrel is equipped with a flash hider which helps to reduce recoil and muzzle rise, improving the shooter’s control over the rifle.
Overall, the PTR Industries PTR91 is a high-quality, American-made rifle that offers the performance and reliability of the legendary G3 design. With its robust roller-delayed blowback action, durable construction, and chambering in 7.62x51mm NATO, the PTR91 is a versatile and powerful firearm suitable for a wide range of shooting activities.
