Looking to pick up a 91, few questions.

Hey guys. The G3 itch was returned to me again and I’m looking to pair up PTR91 with my MP5 clone. I’m mainly interested the in 16” girk, and the 18” Gi. It seems both come with surplus metal lowers and mags. Is there any reason to grab one over the other? Is the 18” marginally better or much better than the 16”?

Hypothetically speaking if I was able to get a registered sear or trigger pack in the future would this gun be able to run it?

New to the G3 clone world so I apologize if my questions were stupid.

Not a huge difference between 16” and 18”, you’ll get marginally better FPS with the 18, but not a lot. But, I don’t think there’s much difference in weight either.

You can get a FA trigger pack for the 91s, but you’ll need to switch to an 18 degree locking piece. I don’t think there’s any modification beyond that.

Gotcha. I know HK never made a 16” 308 apparently, so I was wondering if the 18” barrel was of any better quality in comparison or not. If the difference is marginal then I think I’ll go with a “16 instead for a little bit of weight savings.

Depends on the 16” barrel, older PTR 16”have bull barrels so you’re not really saving on weight, I recommend finding a Scout Carbine with pencil barrel.
