I've been wanting a G3K clone for a long time, but the new PTR 63 might be a little more desirable. Decisions, decisions....

I’d buy one at that price. I’m guessing that the brace ban will put a hurting on future rifle caliber pistol releases though.

I hadn't realized those hadn't been run in two years.

My brother bought one from a local shop about three months back. New, so they must have had it for a while.

Been waiting forever for them to start production back up on them. Wish they would also do a 33k. They would make bank. Anyone would if someone would actually build them.

If possible ask if they black nitrite the barrels for this run, if it happens.

That is what I want, with the correct twist rate barrel, unlike the Vectors build using cut down barrels.

Outstanding!
Thank you so much for pushing this. I spoke to them at the NRA convention about this very rifle, and they seemed open to the idea. Not as positive about the 556 models.

Do I need a 12” .308?  No.  But do I want one?  Yes.

Hopefully they make a big enough run to discourage the, uh, “hyper capitalist entrepreneurs” from screwing it up for the rest of us.

IF you can, see if they can make this run with RCM CHF barrels.

That would be the bees knees.

Thanks much Atlantic FA! I've been hunting for a K3P since last Spring. Came across one but it had roller dents (Aaargh). I just need one K3p. Not a second for the safe. Or the auction. Just ONE to enjoy! Thank you.

Been looking forever and when one popped up awhile back I was not in position to grab it.  When I get one it will turn into my first SBR!

One of, if not my favorite, rifles to shoot. I love mine and shoot it in local 2gun matches almost exclusively. With a #17 locking piece, it’s very soft shooting.
Took me years to find this one, and a second would also get SBR’d and put to work in a different configuration.

It hasn't in the past.

Again, by history it has not. Part of the reason they stopped production was because of the limited availability of the unique parts for the K3P.

That leads to my other question...these come with a stock 45 degree locking piece(?)...I see a lot of recommendations to install a #17 or 36 degree.
Is that so? Something about avoiding roller dents, which may explain why the one I saw last summer had them. Though it also had a blast can on it, FWIW.
(Thnx)

Aimpoint CompM4.


Also. This one kicked like a mule when I first got it. In fact, it started to show light roller marks within the first few range trips. That’s what prompted me to swap to the #17. I didn’t even like to shoot it until swapping out locking pieces.

That’s the reason PTR gave me when I asked them at a previous NRA convention. They were more receptive to the idea this year.

I want to say they come with a 50* LP, but I need to go very my notes on that. Whatever it is, it is NOT the same LP that HK used on the actual G3K. Let me go see real quick.
ETA: PTR shipped the K3P with a 55* LP #7
The G3K used a 50* LP #18 from the factory

Yeah, I had two convos with them and they were saying all the different parts unique to the K3P were what drove them away from the model and that they wanted to focus on the 5.56 and then maybe they would consider coming back to it.

I installed an AAC 7.62-SND-6 and got rail dimples within a few mags. Ejection was like being at an axe throwing competition.

I switched out to a #9 40° locking piece and the gun smoothed out immensely. Brass throw was almost exactly the same as the gun unsuppressed with the original locking piece.

Best part is that it still runs without the can as well. It's a joy to shoot. Ejection is mild by comparison, and the gun still cycles fine.

My limited experience with the 32K and a Sico Chimera is that it functions fine but is pretty gassy.   Granted the Sico Chimera isn't a low backpressure design and I have the factory locking piece (65 or 70 degree can't recall which) so I am not doing myself any favors.  I always considered putting a lower angle locking piece in the gun to see how that helped but never really got around to it.

That said none of the rifle caliber HK in my experience are ideal suppressor hosts with a fluted chamber that allows backpressure from the can to jet around the cartridge and come out the ejection port.

Get the appropriate locking pice and they suppress fine.

YES that's been on my list too, I got into the G3 late when these were all discontinued! (argh!) the PTR 91 kf version with the carbine length Handguard...
I see them used online rarely but can't tell what shape they're in...then I find something else (new, w/warranty) I've been looking for...
So, yes, I second that motion... :P
