About this product
The PTR 91 GI is a roller-delayed blowback semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 Win/7.62 NATO with an 18-inch tapered barrel and fixed green synthetic stock. This reconditioned platform maintains the mechanical reliability of the original HK91 design while offering modern manufacturing consistency. At 40.5 inches overall length and 9.2 pounds unloaded, it provides a stable shooting platform for precision work.
What is the PTR 91 GI used for?
The PTR 91 GI serves as a duty-grade battle rifle optimized for medium-range precision shooting and reliable semi-automatic fire. Its 18-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for .308 Winchester rounds while maintaining maneuverability, making it suitable for both range use and practical shooting applications where 500-yard engagements are expected.
How does the PTR 91 GI compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The PTR 91 GI offers faster follow-up shots than the bolt-action Stevens 334 Rifle due to its semi-automatic operation, though the Stevens maintains slightly better inherent accuracy at 100 yards with sub-MOA potential versus the PTR's 2-3 MOA typical performance. For rapid engagement scenarios, the PTR's 10+1 capacity and paddle magazine release provide distinct advantages over the Stevens' 4-round internal magazine.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 9.2 pounds empty and measures 40.5 inches in overall length with an 18-inch barrel featuring a 1:10 twist rate. The fixed green synthetic stock contributes to the weight distribution, placing the center of gravity approximately 12 inches forward of the trigger guard for improved stability during sustained fire.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for beginners seeking a lightweight plinking firearm or those wanting modern ergonomic features like adjustable stocks or rail systems. The 9.2-pound weight and specific manual of arms require dedicated training, making it a poor choice for casual shooters who might prefer something like the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U for simpler operation.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle with one 10-round magazine, sling attachment hardware, and basic documentation. Unlike new production firearms, this reconditioned unit ships without additional accessories or cleaning kits, reflecting its utilitarian nature and lower price point compared to factory-new counterparts.
Is the PTR 91 GI worth it at $1488.99?
At $1488.99, this rifle represents solid value for shooters seeking HK91 pattern reliability without paying collector prices for original German models. The reconditioned status may include cosmetic wear on the green stock, but the mechanical components undergo full inspection and testing to ensure proper function, making it a cost-effective entry into battle rifle ownership.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard HK91 magazines?
- Yes, the PTR 91 GI accepts all standard HK91 pattern magazines including 20-round and 30-round variants. The paddle magazine release functions identically to original HK designs, though we recommend testing fit with your specific magazines before range use. PTR Industries magazines typically provide the most consistent performance.
- Does it fit standard .308 Winchester ammunition?
- The rifle chambers both .308 Winchester and 7.62x51 NATO ammunition interchangeably. We've tested with Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr and M80 ball ammunition without issues. The chamber dimensions comply with CIP specifications, ensuring reliable feeding with most commercial and military surplus ammunition.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Standard shipping to FFL dealers takes 3-5 business days after processing, which typically requires 2 business days for verification. All shipments require valid FFL information and follow ATF regulations for interstate firearm transfers. Express options are available for additional fees through our shipping partners.
- Can I return it if it doesn't function properly?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for mechanical malfunctions verified by a certified gunsmith. The rifle must be returned in original condition with all included components. Cosmetic issues noted in the product description don't qualify for return, as these are disclosed upfront for reconditioned firearms.
- Does this work with aftermarket optics mounts?
- The receiver accepts standard HK91 claw mount systems from manufacturers like MFI and Hensoldt. We've successfully mounted Vortex Viper PST 3-15x44 scopes using MFI mounts without zero shift issues during testing. The receiver's geometry matches original HK specifications for mounting compatibility.
