Bought a pre-ban 91 today
Looks like new and unfired. Always wanted one. Case, sling, manual, six mags. Date code IK (1989?) I'm closing out my wish list. I picked up a Browning 1895 (made in 1984) and a Stoeger Coach Gun last winter. Still looking for a Browning or Win 1886 in 45-70. Then I'm pretty much done.

Congrats on the 91 but don't kid yourself, gun guys are never "done."

I scored a 91 barreled receiver on GB and bought a parts kit from HKParts.net. It's at IGF for assembly, installation of a paddle magazine release, and refinish.
I love the 91's-I have a GP assembled G3 clone on a PTR receiver and a GP done 91k on a Greek SAR 8. They're addictive-next step will probably be a 51 clone.

I was going to get in on it. But, I was distracted with work and it ended. Good grab. |

Some Israeli mil surp. lot 10-80 TZ headstamp. Primer blew out the back of the casing and flattened against the bolt face. Obviously the 91 stopped cycling till I peeled the primer off the bolt face and changed ammo. No injuries or damage to the gun. Other than that never a hick up and of course it was not a gun issue it was an ammo issue. |

Dean Ive had similar issues with some groady Izzi 7.62X51 in years past. Had to pull every one of them and replace the primers. This was surplus ammo from Masada, I think, it was old and nasty. NOT IMI stuff... Changing out the primers made a big difference.
Also had a Port 91 NEW parts kit built on a PTR receiver a few years ago by one of the gentlemen in Az.. Nice looking and seems to shoot well.. Not like my FAL of course but you know...

I got a NIB 91 around the same time for $450. Shot it a couple of times and disliked it so intensely that I sold it a few months later - for $450. I want to regret not keeping it, but............
