OP here.
A lot's changed since I'd started this thread, lol. PTR went back to the Navy lower configuration, for one, which I'm glad for.
Newest question (I know, I should've picked one up by now) is: Comparing the SCAR 17 and the PTR-91 A3R, is the former really worth 3x the price of the latter? I've been doing some reading, and the general consensus is that the SCAR is AR-user friendly as far as controls and ergonomics go, but the G3 design has always felt like it was made for me (I've got a 77" fingertip-to-fingertip arm span).
Also, in the time span since starting this thread, I've had a minor work-related injury that banged up my shoulder a bit, and have found this article. My biggest question is, does changing out the PTR Locking Piece with an HK21's affect reliability at all? As a rule, I run decent quality ammo through everything I have, range/plinking outings included, so underpressured 7.62x51 and non-brass casings aren't an issue. In fact, I'll likely be running Hirtenberger or MEN through it.
