Went to the range today, as I do every Patriots Day, to do some shooting. Brought a buddy with me. I had switched out the stock on my PTR-91 with an OEM surplus G3 stock that I got from CTD (Cheaper Than Dirt). Put five rounds in the mag, gave it to my buddy and told him to shoot. After he finished firing the five roudns he hands me back the rifle and I notice the wrist of the stock has completely sparated from the back of the stock – succintly the stock broke in half. Bizarre. Now came the big question: why? My worst fear was that there was some non-spec property of the PTR that made it incompatible with OEM HK stuff…perhaps PTR re-engineered their buffer system or something in a manner that was not compatible with the HK stock and as a result the HK stock broke? Or, perhaps a forty year old surplus G# stock made of plastic might have been a little tired and nothing more? Only one way to find out! Back to the bunker, grab another G3 stock (of course I have more than one!), throw it on and head back to the range to shoot. Twenty rounds outta the gun as fast as I can pull the trigger and no problem with the stock. Hmmm…must just been a stock that was on its last legs. BUT..to be safe, I’ve two more on the way from CTD as well as the A3 telestock.<\/p>\n
For those keep track<\/p>\n
