HK91/G3 (PTR91) Disassembly & bolt group breakdown [the right way]

In this video I breakdown the HK91 type rifle for you including the bolt carrier group.

[@shnsn5560]

Thanks. Just found your video. It's a "complete" disassembly & re-assembly vid and is all that is needed to get access for most cleanings. Procedures also work well for the PTR 32 (7.62X39mm).

[@TheKlamminator]

The real MVPs are people like you that make youtube vids like this. Super helpful

[@domoore546]

OK, First I want to THANK YOU for the video. Second, I want to THANK YOU for the video. I just got my first PTR 100 and there is NO way I could have taken apart and put it together without your help. At one point I was screwing around for 10 minutes putting the bolt to the carrier, then I used your method, DAMN! You are like the buddy I don't have when it comes to what the hell did I do here!

[@VEightMerc124]

Glad I could help!

[@richardxo507]

Your video was the only one that went in depth on putting the bolt together fully, I am mostly an AR guy so I don't have the same knowledge as yours. Good Job!!!!

[@MrRty789]

Great video !!! Thanks I am about to purchase one and this was very informative. I used a suppressed HK MP5 25 years ago on a team and loved it. I can't wait to get it now. Thanks Semper Fi Giles

Awesome video man I thought I messed up at one point but I was fine thanks to you

[@TheStuart-of-Cosby]

Yeah same here had my apart lol and I locked to bolt carrier together lol I locked the roller pins were locked out lol I freaked out for a minute when trying to get it to slide back into the gun. Was like dam done broke something

I just bought this rifle. Great video

[@lincolnshammer-5787]

Great video. Awesome with the safety tips. Didn't know that the holes in the butt stock wer fer thaty. Thanks👍🏽

[@benlaubacher7462]

Just got mine... thanks..very helpful.

[@texaspreppertom2455]

Great video. I have had mine out only one time so far this year. The only thing I don't really like on mine is that the charging lever is very difficult to move toward the operator. Maybe it will get easier with additional use. At least I hope that is the case. I can tell from seeing yours that I do not have nearly enough grease on any of it. Maybe after I grease it, it will get easier to operate. It is a very accurate rife and that was the primary reason I got the rifle. Take care and stay safe. Again, great video.

[@filiphaglund7817]

My main gripe with this weapon is how awkward the safety is to operate. I by no means have small hands, but I feel like it was designed for people with thumbs that are at least 15-20% longer than mine are. I almost always have tilt the rifle slightly sideways to get a better reach for the safety.

[@ronaldraygun2639]

I live in California so holding the rifle is awkward itself.

[@cbwelch4]

Hey what’s up, Dude? It was a circular route, but I did finally pick up a PTR 91. What got me was the price and some research. The gun did well in several mud tests and it has a reputation for being accurate. We’ll see. It shows up next week.

[@Chris-pb3se]

I spent 20yrs assembling my HK91’s bolt in a similar way. Last year I bought the bolt tool. Best 30$ I’ve spent in years. I got it from RTG but plenty of places carry it. I can’t recommend it enough

[@terryboone3333]

What kind of tool is it? And who is rtg?

[@Chris-pb3se]

@@terryboone3333 Google ‘RTG parts’ it comes right up. They have a whole category named ‘HK91-G3-PTR-91’. Tons of tough to find things there. The bolt tool is there.

[@peacehere1448]

website is robertrtg the tool is called a HKG3 bolt carrier disassembly and assembly tool. Like 20$. Has an adjustable screw that applies pressure to the bolt catch so you can easily put the bolt back into place.

[@Magajarhead1775]

[@sbkain]

Hello, I love all your videos and I have learned a great deal over the years.* I also live in California and I wanted to let you know that I own a PTR 91 and plus another HK91 clone I think that's one of the most fun rifles there is for the open desert and just about any Terrain. yes it's heavy but it's also a 308 design for Full Auto the sixties.So that being said, just wanted to give you the heads-up that nutnfancy and his son put together a video as of July 23rd and it's a little rough for us PTR owners. please keep up the awesome work you're one of my favorites to watch on KZbin.

[@JMark-zk5pj]

Got mine back from springfield a few years ago, intermittently fired on "safe", and sometimes did not fire on "fire". pulled that pack out, and replaced with a stock one from HK parts. Very disappointed in his work.

[@arbilois]

Great video!

[@jonathanfriedman8343]

Nice job, thanks.

[@michael862]

1 the lever isn 't ment to be pushed down 2 when you Mount the head of the bolt. Push it to the bottom, pull it at bit foreward - as you did - but then push and roll the rolls, and the head Should move foreward to the coerect position. 3 you can use the strap around the head if it is hard to turn it 4 when assemblying Some just pust the head to the bottom and then inserts the bolt backwards in the frame and gives it a hard push, so the rolls are knocked back in place. Dont do that... 5 the carabin in the strap can be used to unscrew the mussle break by putting it in the Groove it has. 6 the handle Should be slapped down when loading. It is the correct way and it is half the fun. You accually risk getting a malfunction if you don't slap it. And people Will point and laugh. Beautiful gun

[@Ghost353.]

Thank you!

[@oswaldotorreslopez1375]

Nice 👍 rifle

[@jolmos7194]

Do you think .012 mm is safe for bolt gap? only has 300rds thru it.

[@josephgutierrez8819]

I think I messed up on putting the bolt back in, what I noticed is different from what happened to me and in the video is the side with that slot inside of the bolt is facing the side of the Carrier with the pin, my bolt with the slot is facing the opposite direction and I can’t pull it out and even when I get the roller unlocked I can’t make a full turn in either direction, I could use some help

[@Jim89M]

You put the pins in the opposite direction.. there s a reason for the pin heads must be to the side of the shoulder strap. This way prevents them for loosing them in a long military march.

[@mje3055]

VERY NICE

[@Alkaline7.62]

A little off topic but I just picked one of these up and the pin that holds the front handguard Ian is extremely loose any ideas on a solution with a new pen fix this or do I need to figure out some kind of safety wire

[@GhostRecon_PT]

U need to keep an eye on it, no tricks, we used G3 on army and we allways keeped an eye on all pins

[@mikeypops73]

Nice, thanks.

[@VEightMerc124]

you are welcome!

[@UnknownUzer]

FYI : For those looking for a Disassembly video, this is NOT one. this is just a field strip.

[@robby4738]

Great Video. Its an easy rifle to take down. I just got mine and plan on shooting it soon. Did you actually "break" it in or did you just load her up and blast away? I'm debating if I want to go through the grueling task of breaking her by way of the steps presented in the manual.

[@VEightMerc124]

i just shot it. i didnt blast away though. havent cleaned it since i bought it back in Dec. of 2012!

[@terryboone3333]

I spent about an hour last night trying to get my bolt back together. It wasnt as easy as you showed but i wasnt doing it like you did. Should have watched your video first .

[@davidsequeira1771]

If anyone has advice how to clean inside of the breach. I can’t find any real cleaning tools to get inside and fingers can’t get in either. Cant get any brush in there. I feel like I can never actually properly clean inside this firearm

[@Ywn4L]

What if my rollers doesn't go back down is that bad ?

[@petrosapetros7152]

Hi. Nice video. Found it recently. Thank you. Could you show / make any comments on how to lubricate the G3 ?

[@PacificAirwave144]

Yeeeears ago I got a HK-91. ~40-rds, one deer, back in the safe... I got it home that afternoon and cycled the action and the bolt came out of the ejection port :-/ And nights of KZbin videos learning about the HK-91, Really a couple great videos on this now including this one. No tools required, but gloves are recommended...push, rotate click, rotate the other way are the rollers out, rotate, yank real hard...repeat 'til it looks right. Designed right? Maybe the early manuals ended the field-stripping before removing bolt from the carrier? :-)

[@rickycinaz]

What’s the hk 91 handguard metal hook used for?.

[@claudiagamino6499]

do you have a vid on how to install the original bipod. Do you know where I can find the original bipod?

[@VEightMerc124]

i have a vid on the bipod, you can search for it on my channel search bar.

[@ryodtjdkgdkyjgditdjtdjtdtstid]

Please tell What is the thickness of hk g3 stamped receiver ?

[@tribui119]

do you plan to make your rifle featureless? If so, do you know how to install the magazine release lever, like the AK's?

[@VEightMerc124]

Unfortunately yes, my bullet button now is just a cover so Ill just uncover it and run it like normal. I dont think I would do the paddle release, now that I think about it...if its cheap enough and not too invasive I might try it. There are videos out there showing how to do it.

[@eclectic3618]

Will it accept c308 wood furniture???

[@alfredoverno9674]

great video. thank you. I will actually try to find one now. I had been uncertain of the TAKE DOWN, now I can inspect one before I drop a bunch of money on one. are there any things that would stand out as (warning signs) when inspecting one for purchase? thank you friend.

[@VEightMerc124]

Cant say i know of any warning signs. Just ask if any internal components have been changed and why.

[@markbennettjr]

Bolt will not go back into receiver? The bearings stick out to far. I don't know what I did wrong

[@tellrowland5203]

You have to have space between your bolt and bolt carrier when in the proper position

[@todd.m6996]

Mine is not firing consistently (primers not being struck), about every three to four shots it has the miss fire. I'm using German surplus ammo from the early 80's made by Yugoslavia that's has a really good reputation for being reliable.

[@todd.m6996]

+Brian Spears thanks I'll have to try that!

[@masonmaloof5131]

Brian Spears hey, so you just filed down the feed lips of the mag? I'm having the primer strike problem too

[@chriswillings4958]

Same steps for ah fa91?

[@warnersims]

I have a G3 clone and it has an issue with misfeading the round and jamming it up against the trunnion and pressing the bullet into the case more. No amount of cleaning and lubrication seems to help...

[@VEightMerc124]

Try different magazines loaded to full but shoot only a few rounds from each.

[@ramon3960]

I'm surprised you can have this rifle on California

[@cokfarm1339]

Any idea how to replace the recoil spring on a retractable rod? Its what the pdw comes with.

[@VEightMerc124]

I believe there is a “cap” thats retained by 2 small pins that when removed the spring comes off

[@cokfarm1339]

Thanks I figured it out. The retractable rod actually just unscrewed very easy !

[@Cowboycomando54]

Can't get the bolt to latch into the groove with out the roller being stuck out.

He's got that in the video after 11:00, it took me a couple of tries but I got the rollers back the way God meant them to be.

You right i live in California and I don't like all this rules we got about bullet button 10 round magazines and now we need to register all this rifles to assault weapons i own the ak ar and other hand guns but I want to buy this one you showed in this video but I don't make before dec 2016 i m a road driver and in my gun dealer tell me I need to be fiscal in town and I arrived to san diego in December 23 after 2 months in the road not enough time fo the waiting 10 day period so now my collection is going a be incomplete about the rifles I liked nice video nice explain

[@driesmertens8]

works for xr41 as well :)

[@strategicgamingwithaacorns2874]

1. Is there a G3 variant with a quick-change barrel (like the HK21?) 2. Is there a G3 variant that can be fit with Picatinny Rails? 3. Is there a G3 variant that has both a quick-change barrel and Picatinny Rails?

[@tellrowland5203]

You can get a set of pinch rails for it. They clamp to the upper and sit just above the ironsights.

[@GreenCanoeb]

PTR GIR model has the Pic rail. None I'm aware of have a quick change barrel.

[@westerntactical]

3:15-3:20 These two pieces will not separate on mine, they’re like stuck together and everyone I see online is seamlessly able to pull it out.

[@nibbarkfc2863]

Oh it's call me kevin

[@michaelf1900]

I tried the method you used , but my bolt is too tight and will not go in unless I push it back in the locked position then force it forward with a screw driver

[@VEightMerc124]

make sure you follow the steps closely. full screen the video and 1080p to see how the lever pops onto the bolt then how I slide it on the ledge. The bolt is supposed to be reasdembled without tools. It is not easy to do, I understand the spring tension is pretty stiff.

[@michaelf1900]

Something is wrong with the bolt, it does not move or rattle like yours does, I am going to have it looked at

[@claudiagamino6499]

where can I find a reasonable priced bipod for this rifle?

+claudia gamino amazon

[@vamvam7300]

Good video, i Think that rifle is Made in USA. The original one HK G3 is Made in Germany 7.62 x 51mm If your are a soldier you have less Possibilities to get wounded prisoners. This rifle with that kind anmuncnition is lethal. I got one when i was soldier. If i had to go back to the Army I'd like to have one Heckler and Koch G3, now i'm a simple citizen and to have one a those H K G3 Rifle is Big responsibility. I want to have the replica Collection... Thanks for the video

[@joemartinez5405]

What sort of grease do you use for bolt assembly?

[@VEightMerc124]

I always use the red valvoline stuff. Sticky and hangs on for a long time. I used be on the white lithium train, but it melts away quick and can get crusty dry over time

[@chuckabbate1264]

what does the bullet button do? How does it work?

[@VEightMerc124]

it prevents the regular mag release from working. so instead of using your finger, you need a special tool like the tip of a bullet or screw driver. but Cali has now defined a bullet button as basically a regular mag release, so we cant use that to get around the law anymore.

[@PrinceShehzad]

Is this bolt carrier the same as an HK21 bolt carrier?

[@flattire4243]

I think he said one pin holds it back from being full fun/auto 😂

[@johnbrowning8785]

Rotate the bolt-carrier group "counter-clockwise".

[@jorgemartins3969]

Foi a minha arma no exercito, G3, tinhamos que desarma-la e voltar a armar com os olhos vendados em menos de dois minutos, e para desrmar o grupo do pin de disparo usavamos a bandoleira, muito mais rapido e muito mais facil.

[@soheylmoheb7273]

Thanks for the great video ... pretty straight forward. If you had added at the end of the video a fast disassembly - assembly, it would have been awesome. Maybe you can just make another video where you do it fast and share the link at the bottom of the video. anyway ... thanks a lot ... enjoyed it.

+Michael Walker It was an original HK-91. Sorry I didn't know this was a clone when I first saw this video. It had a bipod and collapsible stock.

[@tellrowland5203]

Even a real hk91 g3 isn't worth 3k. And that's full auto version.

[@bwahchannel9746]

sw3?

[@1Guy1SonyVegas]

hi, can someone explain the fake 3rd pin to me. What does the fact that this is a semi-auto gun, have to do with the 3rd pin being fake?

[@oscardelta1257]

1Guy1SonyVegas If it had a REAL third pin it would indicate that the firearm is capable of firing fully automatic. Some people like to have a fake third pin to replicate the military version of this firearm.

[@1Guy1SonyVegas]

Oscar Delta Yeah I realise that fully auto version has 3 pins, and semi auto has 2 pins, but I just don't get it why, haha. Why don't both of them simply have 3 pins? I doubt that it's just to indicate if the gun is semi or fully auto, or am I wrong?

[@oscardelta1257]

1Guy1SonyVegas If you get caught by the ATF with the 3rd pin in your firearm and you don't have a class III license or the title to a class III firearm with the third pin then you will be spending a lot time at "club fed" and have to pay a 10K fine to boot. The ATF looks at any select-fire parts on a firearm as the intent to build one even if all of the parts aren't in the gun to make it select-fire. Thats why people use a fake third pin, because its just the head of the pin and nothing else.

[@1Guy1SonyVegas]

oh, thanks man, now it's all clear to me :)

[@VEightMerc124]

+1Guy1SonyVegas this all depends if the cop knows anything about the pin. but even just the third hole will get you in trouble. the pin holds the auto sear in place on the reciever. And this metal lower was restored by someone else who installed the head and tail of the pin. I didnt even know it had it.

[@tellrowland5203]

This should read 93 not 91. 91s have one rear pin for the stock.

[@GreenCanoeb]

You got it wrong. Title is correct.

At least he's not trying to force a screwdriver in like in the old video. That was actually painful to watch. This rifle has been issued to millions of soldiers and there are manuals for this stuff. No need to try and figure it out for yourself.

[@manyskunks]

The PTR91 isn't a clone as it's made om the H&K machinery & tooling purchased from H&K. H&K no longer makes them. So, PTR Industries bought the tooling and machinery and they are "same as" except for a few upgrades.

[@tellrowland5203]

That's what clone means. Same rifle, different company. A 91 is not a ptr design so it has to be called a clone.
