JLD ENTERPRISES HISTORY AND PRODUCT REVIEW
4/17/05
| In 2002 J.L.D. Enterprises purchased the Portuguese FMP factory, licensed under Heckler and Koch to build the HK G3
rifle. All the tooling, dies, machinery and blueprints (which were
created by HK for FMP) along with a multitude of spare parts, most still
in their original wrappers were imported in about 20 shipping
containers. JLD Enterprises then began to build the most authentic
recreation of an HK91, the semi-automatic version of the G3, that is on
the market today.
I have personally fired the PTR-91A1 and have found the recoil to be very manageable and the accuracy impressive for a rifle that was originally only supposed to group no more 3" at 100Yards. With match ammunition a PTR-91 is capable of 1" groups or better at 100 yards. Magazines for this rifle are now plentiful and cheap because of the importation of the entire German army's stock of about 1.5 million G3 magazines. Because the newest semi-automatic HK91 rifle was imported in 1989, you aren't going to find a used HK in the condition of a brand new PTR-91 and certainly not for the price. -Matt Koenigsberg Proprietor of Kings Mountain
