    A new G3 clone for the US market...

    I think they'll probably sell, despite the fact that you can get a PTR-91 for about half the price:

    Great to see options. It will be a hard sell at around $2k with PTRs being about half the price. And pre-89 HK91s can be found for close to $2k with some diligent searching.

    Yea, tough sell. PTR makes a fine product all ready in the US.

    Also, the guy didn't know what parts were 922r but said they make the complete rifle. It sounded like he wasn't familiar with 922r or perhaps arrangements had yet to be made regarding producing parts in the US.

    I suppose they already crank out G3's for armies that want them. But if they wanted to increase sales they should just crank out more MP5-type rifles. Even a 5.56 or 7.62x39 or .300 blk out rifle with lots of good magazines would sell more than .308 rifles.

    These will sell. Mags are still inexpensive. A top rail would go over really well, nice that there able to put that paddle mag release on it. Lets hope the supply chain remains open.

    The PTR91 has a welded top rail and paddle release.

    I’ll wait for reviews to see if it’s actually in-spec.

    Even though Turkey sucks, I've been really impressed with the MKE 94 and 94k as well as the 43 pistol.

    I had problems with early PTRs (JLD) so I'm still a little leery of them. And even though I probably have more than a dozen G3 / 91 variants, I'll probably grab one of these just to have one.

    This is an easy choice.

    The Turkish state literally, directly supports al-Qaeda in Syria, and has provided everything but direct support to the Islamic State for over half a decade now.

    Even if you don't care about the rest of their litany of crimes, which could fill a library, this should be enough.
