This video details the return of the PTR 51P PDW after experiencing significant reliability issues. The primary cause was identified as an incorrect locking piece (70-degree instead of 55-degree) intended for a standard MP5 barrel being used in a .308 caliber firearm. PTR Industries replaced the serialized upper receiver and provided a new hammer, returning the firearm to factory configuration. Chronograph testing showed the 8-inch barrel .308 achieved around 1800 FPS with 145-grain Wolf ammunition, a reasonable but not exceptional velocity for the caliber and barrel length. The reviewer notes the firearm is now functioning flawlessly but plans to sell it due to its impracticality, suggesting a PTR-9KT or a full-size .308 rifle as more practical alternatives.
