That PTR-63 looks a lot like the HK G41.  The dual upper/lower stock pins, the bolt and mag releases seem to match the G41 design.

Honestly, if they ditch that retarded muh-operator-tactical 10-degree grip angle for something in the 25-35 degree range it'd look more normal.  PTR's Mlok handguards also don't do it for me, but that appears to be a standard HK93 carbine length one, easy to replace.

Dunno, could be a winner.

This.

They put the wrong furniture on as the "flagship reveal", but otherwise seem to have nailed the G41 vibe.

I am already strategizing how to afford one, because there aren't any G41s to buy, I like roller locks, but don't want to fuck with HK33 type (or any other type) mags.

I'll get one either way, bc it is different, but I just think they could have had an out of the park homer if they would have stuck with the 33 entirely. People buying these guns are doing it bc they want stanag compatibility, well at least most aren't. We want them bc of nostalgia, clone worthiness, SOMETHING that isn't an AR or takes AR accessories.

And I'm sure we will figure out how to get a regular lower/trigger to work. Which is another point, PTR's usually are sear friendly, I doubt this will be.

With Ruger and S&W making major investments into 5.7 firearms in the last couple years, I think it's a safe bet we're going to see more than FN, Federal AE, and PSA/AAC making token amounts of ammo.

I'd expect other Vista companies (Federal, CCI, Remington, Speer) to kick out other loads soon, and larger international brands like S&B, PPU, or Magtech might not be far behind.

Yes and I think Jeff (ghilliebear/Parabellum Combat Systems) has recently done a run of 41 clones. They're cool in their own right, just not mine, and obviously from the comments, others desire.

A curveball from Henry:

They are making a 9mm semiauto PCC called the "Homesteader."







Like the Ruger PC Carbine, it uses a mag well adapter system. There's one for a new Henry mag, one for Glock mags, and one that uses M&P or P320 mags.

The main issues is that digital night vision requires a lot more ambient light than intensifier tubes. The majority of the $60 NV cameras use IR flood light as well which is not passive. Those $60 NV cameras really only can see in the dark as far as the IR light can throw.

It does now, but won't for long.


The HIGH END stuff soon will be just as good as typical, original night vision. The demos I've seen are truly incredible : They're shooting daytime quality 4k videos at midnight while very overcast.

Here's a comment from that link-
"One day I'll get my Henry American made SxS shotgun. One day...."

I want a coach gun and pump action rifles! 17" threaded pump .44 with a pistol grip would probably be a buy now for me. An arfcommer said Henry showed him a prototype revolver during a tour.

According to Magpul and Zev, their wacky folding FDP-9/FDC-9 is in final testing and production planning for a 2023 release.



It’s been two years since we announced the partnership between ZEV Technologies and Magpul to create the Folding Defensive Pistol and the Folding Defensive Carbine. We’re pivoting to final testing and production planning, and the plan is for the FDP-9 and FDC-9 to be available through ZEV Technologies in 2023. The classification of the FDP-9 means you’ll be able to purchase it like any other handgun, while the FDC-9 is classified as a short-barreled rifle. You’ll be able to convert your FDP to an FDC with an added conversion part after you receive your approved form 1, or by purchasing it as a factory SBR with an approved form 4.

Testing and producing a project of this scale is a huge part of the process that can’t be rushed. Unlike the original folding concept firearm, which merely allowed the demonstration of an idea, the FDP-9 is a complete redesign of that concept meant to increase durability, reliability, practicality, and to incorporate important safety features and regulatory compliance features necessary to create a very real and usable firearm. We’re preparing for the release in 2023 and we’re looking forward to sharing the final product that so many have waited for since the concept was first shown more than a decade ago.
