Our Assessment: The PTR91 GIR rifle fitted with a B&T Tri-Rail Handguard offers an intriguing blend of German engineering and American manufacturing. Based on the iconic Heckler & Koch G3 design, the PTR91 has carved out its own niche in the semi-automatic .308 Win/7.62x51mm NATO market. The GIR (German Infantry Rifle) model honors its heritage by incorporating features reminiscent of the original G3, such as a fixed polymer stock and a paddle-style magazine release. With the addition of a B&T (Brügger & Thomet) Tri-Rail Handguard, the rifle gains a modern touch of versatility, enabling customization with a wide range of accessories.
Constructed with a stamped steel receiver, the PTR91 GIR is built to be both durable and reliable. The heart of the rifle lies in its roller-delayed blowback system, a tried-and-true mechanism that contributes to its excellent performance and low recoil. The inclusion of a B&T Tri-Rail Handguard elevates its utility, providing Picatinny rails on the sides and bottom for mounting lights, lasers, or vertical grips. This transforms the PTR91 GIR from a traditional battle rifle into a multi-role platform capable of adapting to various shooting scenarios. The rifle also boasts a match-grade, tapered barrel that enhances its accuracy potential, making it well-suited for precision shooting as well as more tactical applications.
