Product Description
The PTR GI – 7.62×51mm Rifle is a full-length, semi-automatic rifle engineered to deliver classic roller-delayed performance in a traditional rifle configuration. Built around PTR’s proven roller-delayed blowback operating system, the GI rifle provides reliable function and smooth recoil characteristics while maintaining the heritage look of the original platform. The semi-automatic action is host-ready for use with NFA-registered auto sear packs where legally applicable.
At the core of the rifle is an 18″ stress-relieved, tapered contour barrel with a 1:10″ right-hand twist. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, supporting suppressor use and common muzzle devices. A traditional MP5-pattern claw-style optic mounting interface is retained, preserving legacy mounting compatibility. The overall Parkerized finish contributes to corrosion resistance while reinforcing the rifle’s classic military appearance.
The PTR GI features a slim-line polymer handguard and surplus-style furniture finished in green, paired with a black receiver. Surplus components, including the stock set and metal lower trigger pack, are military surplus rated NRA Good and may show cosmetic wear such as scratches, blemishes, or finish variation. Magazine selection consists of original surplus aluminum magazines rated Good or better, further reinforcing the rifle’s authentic service character.
Measuring approximately 40.5″ in overall length and weighing 9.5 lbs unloaded, the PTR GI balances full-length rifle handling with manageable weight. The trigger pull is set between 9–10 lbs for consistent operation. Each rifle ships in a cardboard case and includes one magazine and a cable lock. The PTR GI is offered in standard as well as California- and Vermont-compliant configurations.
Within the PTR lineup, the GI occupies the classic .308 rifle segment, offering roller-delayed reliability, full-length barrel performance, and traditional military styling supported by surplus components that add individuality and historical character to each rifle.

I’ve owned this gi model and several heavy barrel variants over the years, Starting back with the original company “JLD Enterprises”. Every rifle has done nothing but impress me. Having worked in the industry for over a decade after being a armorer for the USMC, it’s hard to impress me.. The accuracy is unbelievable, more accurate than the original hk-91 I had. I just Really Wish the two heavy barrel options were offered again, 16” and 18”. I’ve had both from previous companies and they were fantastic, but current ownership has gone above and beyond with the more modern features. A 18” heavy barrel 308 offered in “FR” and “psg-1” style configuration would be amazing. I’ve rang 12” steel easily with iron sights and 300-450 yards!

Outstanding rifle. The iron sights and free float barrel on this rifle are so good that I can easily hit a man-sized steel silhouette at 550yds. I did swap in a Bill Springfield buffer for a softer recoil impulse and am going to try the RCM #17 locking piece next. This rifle has been 100% reliable after 500 rounds. I only wish PTR would offer their other rifles without the permanently welded optics rail like this GI model to satisfy the clone market.
