Should i get a ptr 91 gi r model?
I want this as a dmr/my 308 rifle.
i have a few questions.
1 is the retractable stock worth it and is it difficult to install?
2 how can i lower the lb on the trigger so i can get better accuracy? i hear the trigger weight is very high.
3 is shooting 308 winchester regularly safe and fine? and how hot of loads can i use?
4 is it chrome lined and if not whats the barrel life like? like after how many rounds will accuracy decrease by half?
5 how bad is the brass chew up and does the port buffer do anything?
6 how well would hard cast lubed reloads work in the gun?
7 is tulammo ammo fine?
8 what sort of accuracy can i expect?
9 does it lend well to being suppressed? i have a multi cal suppressor build coming up all stainless steel. 2.75 od diameter 4.8 long( its 3 4.8 long pieces that thread into each other with m type cup baffles and it weights around 95 oz with the full 3 part config at 13.5 long).
10 how long is the main recoil spring good for and same goes for other parts of the gun like the bolt and the rollers.
11 whats the recoil like?
12 is it safe to lube the gun(like the bolt carrier group and chamber, i heard it makes extraction less damaging if the chamber is lubed but also more dangerous since it stays in the chamber for a shorter amount of time.).
13 is the receiver steel or polymer for the GI R model?
ill either be getting this or an ar10, but this seems like better quality than similar priced ar10s plus it can have a folding or retractile stock, looks a lot better and the mags are a lot cheaper.

also i forgot to add, but where can i get the bull barrel version?
id like my ptr 91 to have the welded rail, the paddle mag release and a bull barrel and a steel trigger housing.
>>34057418
KFM4R, FR, and MSG models are the only ones with bull barrels, and start at ~$200 more than the base model. You can also buy a bull barrel from PTR or a third party. Steel trigger housing and paddle mag release are now standard on all new models. The base model GI is the only current inventory that doesn't have a welded scope rail.
If you want all of the features you mentioned, get pic related
>>34057579
do you think the bull barrel is worth it?
also this model https://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-rifles/ptr-91fr-308-rifle-w-paddle-mag-release-detail.html?Itemid=0
seems like it has a polymer lower, is the model in your photo the one i linked?
also for the hand guard, can you add rail sections to the side? the rail pattern doesnt look like m lock or keymod or anything that i know of so what is it?

I hear the U.S. Army might be ditching 5.56 and 7.62 for 6.5 Creedmoor or two other types of rounds, the Creedmoor seeming to be the best performing candidate.
Is 6.5 Creedmoor a meme, or is there real worth in accepting the round as the new standard?
Yes.
6.5CM is better than 7.62x51.

In Afghanistan, sure. If the egg heads are right though and urban conflicts will dominate the future, then no.

I'd recommend American Sniper as well, if you can somewhat appreciate it, and dont mind the cheesyness and the drama surrounding the real Chris Kyle. I just pretend I'm watching a cool Action movie, not based on real events.

This probably should be on /pol/, but I'm 50/50 on this.
On one hand, we're supposed to be all equal so a job being restricted by gender irks me.
On the other hand this is the military where feelings and equality don't fucking matter because the job is to kill and fight and die.
This is the equality they fought for, let's see if they want to keep it when the draft happens and they're following me innawoods so we don't die in a globalist plot.

Don't.
What are the benefits of going into the 35 series in the Army? How is the pay for an enlisted man, and can I get good jobs in the private sector when I get out of the Army? Are there jobs in the 35 series where I'm more likely to work on the front line?
