This video details the process of modernizing two PTR firearms: a PTR 91 A3S and a PTR 9CT. The PTR 91, an 18-inch barreled .308, faces challenges with optics mounting due to its stock and rear drum sight, and exhibits significant muzzle climb due to its non-inline stock. Modifications include adding a VG6 muzzle brake, a Spur stock, and a new handguard. The PTR 9CT, a more modern platform, is being configured for night vision use with an M-LOK rail, an SB Tactical brace, IR laser, IR light, and a red dot sight on a high mount, though rail space is noted as a limitation.
