LPVO is the way! Ran a 1-4 Schmidt and Bender Short Dot on my G3 in Afghanistan, with a Aimpoint conp M4a for nighttime stuff in QD mount. Loved it! But I upgraded to a 1-8 2 years ago to maximize the 7.62 capabilities. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it!
I put the 1-6 on mine. Check out my newest video. At about the 6:50 mark, you see me using the PTR on the VTAC barricade and at the bottom of the barricade, I’m having some problems physically cranking my neck into the eye box. I put a piggyback red dot on it, but see if you have any tips since you lived it. I figure the LPVO will work 99% of the time. That other 1% I can use the red dot on the range that I have.
@@eclectic3618 I’ve got a new video coming where I built a VTAC barricade and shot different rifle platforms from it. The LPVO was great except for some positions at the bottom where I physically couldn’t get my neck and head into the eye box. So I have thrown a piggyback dot back on the rifle for really awkward shooting positions. The EOtech is a good one for this rifle. Plus I love the gigantic field of view it gives you.
Subbed as a fellow PTR fanboy and shooter. It has anomalies vs modern stuff that makes it a funky bird to get perfect. Still find it as my fav 7.62x51 rattler.
@@gatorhkman it’s grown on me a lot. Many won’t like it because it’s not an AR, but if you can get past (passed idk) that part and realize it’s a unique rifle, it’s a load of fun. Plus mine ties reliability with my AKM so that helps me like it too.
Thank you very much for your effort and additions to the conversation. I am on a similar journey with my PTR91A3SK, thank you for taking time to do these videos
@@Lost-Orbz that’s a good question. As far as I know, the top of the receivers where the claw mount…uh….mounts to are the same. Most of the differences between the cetme build and Hk builds are small stuff, like muzzle threading, hand guards may need slightly dremel’ed to interchange, mags or mag releases may need altered to work, etc. but the major parts are the same, so I would assume it would work. HOWEVER, I’m just a hillbilly and don’t know a lot, so I’d call ptr and/or century and ask. I haven’t contacted century before, but I have called ptr and they were helpful over the phone imo. I’d hate to tell you one thing then you waste your money over a couple millimeters of difference.
@@RTarms I’ve got one on my 14.5 ar, the 1x can be used like a red dot and is probably equally as bright as my aimpoint. The 4x is one the best viewing experiences to look through on any scope.
@@Mrsonicslash5 ive looked through them, but never shot with them. There seems to be a real either absolutely love them or absolutely hate them attitude towards the elcan. All that being said, id have to get a used…very used… one on my budget 🤣
@@ironhorse8573 ive held one in hand (just the empty housing) and it felt good, but putting it on the rifle is a different story. Let me know! I saw Ian on forgotten weapons has one on his custom lefty PTR91.
@@RTarms Ok so I got the magpul grip in. The grip is great on the rifle it's a huge difference from night and day. Now I will tell you this the factory safety did not want to fit. So I had to use a rubber mallet and oil get the factory saftey over the molding of the housing to fit.lol took me 40 mins. If you order the magpul ptr 91 grip you need to buy the magpul esk selector mp5 for the grip housing. If you don't want to spend extra 50 do what I did. Before I forget I did use a punch on the inside of the safety selector and pushed detent further in so it could fit over the housing. Shame on magpul for not including the saftey selector.
@@ironhorse8573im glad you mentioned that because i thought it came with a selector! 40 mins lmao. Man this rifle is something else. All my upgrades take 4x as long as they should. I FINALLY upgraded to the extended cocking lever a couple weeks ago. The manuals describe an easy installation. Just punch out the old pin, line up the new cocking handle, insert the new pin, good to go! Doesnt include anywhere having toddlers running around singing Frozen in the background after stealing my rubber mallet 😆 Glad the magpul grip worked. Im going to get one eventually so thanks for the heads up!

Optics baby! Sic em
Appreciate the tips
LPVO seems good
Currently I run an EOTECH 552NV. No magnifier. But typically 50 yard shots.

@@derikkearns9299 No problem. Glad you got something out of it.
Big Bert dropping that even tempered, well thought out and objective firearms information. Gang gang.
Primary Arms x1 micro prism with a flip over x5 magnifier,
Sounds like a good combo without all the weight

I'm on the verge of buying Century Arms CA-3, does MP5 claw mount the same spec as the PTR 91's? Cent Arms 308 are made by PTR.

ANOTHER Elcan?! Like more than one!?Damn, baller 😂
