PTR 32P PDWR 762X39 8.5 30RD Black - Blue/Black, 8.5" Barrel, 30 Rounds

One of the coolest looking guns I own but also one of the worst functioning. Mine only works with Pmag 20 or 30s. I can see where the bolt makes slight contact with the right side feed lip of the mag. With the Pmag it simply shaves a little off of the plastic but with a Bakelite or metal mag it damages the mag and slows the bolt down enough to misfeed. Once I figured that out and only use Pmags it works reasonably well enough to be a lot of fun to shoot. I put an SBA3 brace on it which fits well. About one in fifty rounds will be an FTF. The strike on the primer looks solid enough but it will occasionally not fire due to hard primer. Overall it is still pretty cool but at this price point just know what you are getting in to.

Have shot about 400 rounds so far. Still too early for a definitive opinion, but it has worked flawlessly for the 400. I think the roller delayed blowback helps with 7.62x39 recoil (especially compared to traditional AK’s) and I installed a Tailhook Mod 2 brace that is the perfect companion. Really, really fun gun to shoot and definitely recommend. If I have any more issues down the road I’ll come back and see if I can update the review. Oh, and Bud’s was super easy and smooth to deal with as always.

This may come as a pleasant surprise to you as this firearm has a 8.5" bull barrel! I put an SBA3 brace on it in a few minutes and it's a real head turner at the range - nobody wanted to shoot my fancy AR anymore 😂. Shooting the AK caliber it spits out fireballs that resembles an M-7 flamethrower and I was able to run it suppressed, but with steel AK ammo makes her a dirty girl - PTR has commented to shoot suppressed at your own risk. The hefty solid weight of it definitely shows the quality of the build of components built on HK certified tooling, and this PTR 32P is easily one of my favorites of my collection to shoot now (the other favorites to shoot are my SCAR 17S and VEPR 12). Highly recommended if you appreciate high quality HK 52 in 7.62x39 clones. And it's even more beautiful when you run her with a bakelite magazine.
