Well, I joined the PTR44 club. Picked it up 4 days again and the ammunition arrived today. The rifle looked as new, but had been fired. Came with one original magazine. After all that I had read, I understood that rifle may need work, to get to run. Well, first 10 runs feed and ejected smoothly. Piled cases in a small circle 6 feet away. I had to have more, another 20 round down range, same results. Loaded 10 more up and rapid fire, this thing is a blast. Yeah, it may break, but I knew that going in. 40 flawless rounds out of a $6000 rifle without a malfunction.... Funny as heck, to be happy about that, lol.
