Yes, and PLENTY of pre ban mags are in circulation. This is almost surely my next semi auto 7.62x51mm but I'm going to buy a Tavor before it because the trigger and muzzle brake are on their way already.

Here's mine done up with all sorts of Hk parts. After my Garand, she's my favorite toy. That SG1 stock has a heavy 2 stage buffer in it that makes the 308 feel like a damn 22, lol. Lots of fun.
I will tell you she's heavy as hell, though (in this setup she's 14.5lbs empty). So if that's something that would concern you, go with the HK profile barrel to save weight.
I actually don't think those parts would work at all. The g3/hk91 pack parts are a totally different animal. Your only real options with the trigger are to get a standard trigger job done by either Bill Springfield of triggerwork.net or Denny Williams of WilliamsTriggers.com for around $65.00
Or if you want something really nice, then go with Denny's WTSG1 set trigger for around $250
Then there's always the Hk factory stuff like the PSG1 trigger pack or a converted true SG1 set trigger group ($700+) but that's getting really expensive.

I have one, rather my "son" has one. I at first thought it blew monkey chunks before I knew about the slap. Now it's my favorite. I've secured mags for it at 4 dollars each.
Word of warning about the Welded rail ones. You can't use a port ejection buffer with them. So you can pretty much kiss reloading out the window between the fluted chamber and the dent it puts in the side of the case. Because these battle rifles are designed to get the brass the hell out of the way of the next round, when the brass ejects it hits the back of the ejection port really hard, putting a big dent in the side before launching it some 30-45 feet in front and to the right of you. A port buffer prevents the dent in the side of the casing. You can always get a MFI rail that's been mod'd to accept a port buffer, but if reloading's not on your to-do list than it ain't a problem
The old joke about these roller-locks is that if you have two guys coming at you, you always shoot the one on the left. The ejected case will take care of the one on the right.
Here's a photo of some brass I have on hand from before I installed the port buffer.

I want to get a ptr but I just need the funds to put one on layaway. Maybe Santa will be nice to me 
That's a lie, a damn lie, I tell you. Brass, without an ejection port buffer, will launch into the next zip code , minimum. Don't worry about the dents or the fluted brass. Unless you have to have pretty reloads. I got rid of my HK91 for what I paid. It was too heavy, brass was hard to recover and didn't care for the irons or the ergonomics. BUT, it was reliable, recoil was mild and it was accurate. It was close to MOA out to 300 with a scope.
Yup I've reloaded cases from these rifles with no I'll effect. I'd go as far to argue that cases fired from a fluted chamber come out less stressed than cases in m14 chamber.
Generally shooting them out of the regular chamber will fire for the cases back to their original shape as long as the tent is not on the shoulder and the case is not cracked I'd say it's good to go.
You can also fire form it in a bolt action chamber if you were so inclined

I see there are many models. Have no idea which ones are MA compliant. I assume the basic version is... someone here posted a GB link to it.

The ones with a C designation (PTR91 C, PT91 KC...) are the from factory compliant models. But they have a really ugly false flash hider permanently attached. I'd recommend ordering whatever model you want from someone like Atlantic Firearms or CDNN, and then have your choice of a nice comp/break pined and welded.
The thing I seriously hate about living in this state is you can't use that slick looking G3 collapsible stock.

Here's my Mass compliant version with the fake brake which I'll replace with a real one at some point. In the meantime it's still fun to shoot!

I have wanted a PTR for awhile. But the whole brass destruction playing hide n go seek thing didn't appeal to me. However I do want a PTR 32 now. Steel cases can go where ever they want. Plus its cheap to shoot.
