Conversion help

I have a PTR-91 that I would like to convert to a paddle style mag release, as found on the original HK-91 and similar to the release found on my M1A. Trouble is the PTR does'nt have the hole thru the bottom rear of the mag well, which means I can't install the bushing for the paddle release lever. Does any one know of a gunsmith that can drill out the mag well? Thanks, Mark.

  My advice is to have a pro do the entire job:

  Ditto on Mark's sugestion. Own a HK-91, a PSG-1, & couple of M1A1s. It will be a good bit of work and to be done RIGHT it needs to be done by some one very experienced as well as with the proper machinery/tools.

  Most definitely use a professional gunsmith, as you wouldn't want to chance ruining your investment. Go into your local gunshops that you trust and inquire about who the professional gunsmiths are in the area. Also check online for any possible info/reviews on particular gunsmiths as well and then call them and ask your questions... In particular ask if they have worked on G3/Cetme/HK weapons before, price, time, do they do their own work, as some send items out and may not tell you beforehand so best to ask.

  Mark, thanks. I had Bill do a trigger job on the same PTR and totally forgot about him. Just sent him an email to get a quote.
