WTT/WTS: PTR91 Paratrooper - Sold

SeventhSon · Apr 17, 2011

Got this in a trade a while back and it's a really cool rifle, shoots great, just doesnt fill a nitch in my collection right now.

Comes with:
16" barrel
H&K wide handguard
modified HK91 "slim" handguard
retractable stock (regular H&K buttstock provided)
leather German sling
about 30 magazines.

This is an older JLD Inc. made rifle with the A serial number so it shoots the surplus ammo (unlike the newer AW series which have had some problems digesting nasty surplus).

Looking to trade or may sell outright. Asking ~~$1300~~ $1200 for everything.

Possible trade ideas:
FAL (+/- cash). No Century or Hesse.
M1A variant (+/- Cash)
Maybe a 308 AR
Certain AR15's
Let me know what you got though. You never know what might peak my interest.

That is a great rifle, I've got one with the fixed stock(in 7.62x39), and its a great shooting gun

Thanks. PTR make a great rifle. If I don't end up trading it I'm going to put the fixed stock on it, maybe get the slimmer handguards, a TacLatch II, put a bipod and a B&T low profile mount on top and put my Millet 1-4 scope on it. Just don't want to put the time/money into it if I'm not going to keep it.

Mines got an eotech and a light, but other than that its stock(and more than what ill ever need). I've been looking for a telescoping stock, at 5'7 the rifle is a bit big for me, but other than that, I've got absolutely no complaints. If you were to ask a cash price, any idea on what it would be?

SeventhSon · Apr 17, 2011

Haven't really given a cash price much thought to be honest. Usually I just trade back and forth for things until I finally get what I was looking for.

The telscoping stock is a nice feature. I'm 5,11" and it fits me fine (and I usually keep my AR adjustable stock on the second position) so it would probably work great for you too.

I hear you. Then when you find one you have to pay their premium price.

hello I would like to offer a rock river ar15 pistol decked out flashlight, laser, and a red/greed dot scope the gun is in great shap if intrested let me know I live in the nola area and could meet today for you to look at i will check this for you reply thank you for your time

Jack · Apr 17, 2011

^^^Might wanna post a picture, or at a minimum use periods.

Youre exactly right about the premiums, when I first decided to buy one, I saw it for 126 dollars plus S and H. I've been kicking myself in the ass all week for passing that up. I might actually look at the little book that came with the gun and see if they have a miniature catalog in there, I seem to think there is one.

The PTR Paratroopers go for about $1600 and up for just the rifle.

Cheaper Than Dirt has them for $1622.50 here: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/55671-55.html

Guns America has one listed for $1850 here: http://www.gunsamerica.com/953959445/Guns/Rifles/Heckler-Koch-Rifles/Tactical/PTR_91_KPF.htm

The cheapest I have found one was on Gunbroker for $1578 here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=225457481

Add to those prices another $180 for the H&K handguards, mags and accessories and you are at $1758 and up.

I would like to get $1300 for everything. Keep in mind that this is also an "A" series rifle and not the newer "AW" series. These were made differently with Wilson barrels (Not TC barrels like the newer ones) and the chamber fluting in the "A" series cycles surplus ammo better (from what I have read all over the net).

Thats enough.

Not really interested in an AR pistol. Thanks for the offer though.

derf · Apr 17, 2011

Nice rifle. I would keep it. Are you sure the forearm is from a 93? The 93 forearms are shorter. That looks like a standard G3 or 91 wide forearm.
Also, some surplus ammo, especially some Indian and certain lots of South African is gummy and will clog up just about any rifle you shoot it in.
In HK 9X types the fluted chambers are critical to proper function.
What kind of flash hider is on there, if any? Early PTRs had none.

f350drvr · Apr 17, 2011

Nice rifle, i have a one and love it. I think you have to use the 93 handguards on the 16" barrel models. The regular HK91 handguards fit the 18" barrels.

SeventhSon · Apr 17, 2011

Yep, you have to use 93 handguards on the 16" rifles.

SA surplus will gum up the newer PTRs (from what I've read). This one had no problems with the South African surplus I ran through it.

This one has a screw on A2 style flash hider.

Noooooooo!!!!!

Yeah, I know. It's a great shooter but like I said, just not filling a nitch in the collection. I have a Socom 16 for the 16" 308 so this is kind of redundant. If no one wants it I certainly don't mind holding onto it. My Son can always use it (in about 12 years, lol).

carlosd321 · Apr 18, 2011

Yeah I understand, it was hard for me to part with as well. I wouldnt mind having another just hard to justify and would rather an M14. Good luck. Bump for a great gun!

SeventhSon · Apr 18, 2011

Thanks man.
