PTR32, the Rolls Royce of 7.62x39

Until SR-47s exist on commercial market...this.

Since they only made 7 of them, I bet it will never enter the market place.

The PTR-32: When you want a 7.62x39 that weighs as much as a 7.62x51.

Not saying that PTD-32s aren’t nice, but if I’m going to carry a gun that heavy, I’d prefer it be a full-power 7.62 NATO rifle.

I’d say the SG553R would take that title. Plus, it’s actually fielded by military/police.

I wonder if the Bren 2 wouldn't also fit the title of, 7.62x39mm Rolls-Royce, especially since GIGN - who could have had pretty much literally anything in 7.62x39 or 300 BLK - went with the Bren 2.

(I'm guessing, and this is just a guess, that they chose the Bren 2 over the 553R because of the straight-in magazines and the bolt hold-open.)

I haven't shot the CZ, but GIGN is a good recommendation.

Could be, but it would be hard to beat the build quality of the 55X series rifles. I’d buy a Bren 2 in 7.62x39, but the magazines are a definite no go for me. The last thing I’d want is another proprietary magazine. If I could get a 7.62x39 that would take AR15 mags, I’d go with it. This is obviously not an issue for GIGN.

I just watched MAC video on on the Bren 2 7.62x39 and since it takes a proprietary magazine, it takes it off the table for me.

It does, why would they do that.
Turned me off completely.

I’m guessing so it can slide in like an AR15 magazine instead of rock and lock like an AK magazine.
