I want a PTR-91, but in the regular HK-91 length, not this short-barreled thing. It’s the first cousin to the FAL, a roller-locked delayed-gas rifle in 7.62 x 51.

As the proud owner of an M14 clone, several FAL replicas, a G3 clone, and a CETME replica, these rifles all have distinct personalities. The felt recoil of the CETME is softer than the G3 clone — why this is I have no idea. The FALs are Cadillacs of the main battle rifles. But for simplicity of parts and maintenance, the M14 is tops.

That short barreled PTR with its telescoping stock has got to be a real thumper in the recoil department. The telescoping stock is not particularly ergonomic. The muzzle blast has got to be fierce!

This may be very important news.

A big part of the 10th Amendment movement is the idea that if guns and their ammo are made in a state exclusively for use in that state, then they are not under federal jurisdiction, because no interstate commerce is involved.

(Granted, the courts have said that “interstate” is the same as “intrastate”, but that is a nonsensical interpretation of the constitution and needs to be challenged. Up is not the same as down.)

But to do this, guns and ammo need to be clearly labeled as associated with a single state, and for use within that state only.

If this comes to pass, it should encourage states to create enabling laws for just in state gun and ammo makers to set up shop.
