Asking here since I know there are some owners of the PTR 44's. Does anybody know if a PTR44 bolt will work in an original receiver? I know somebody that needs one for his Class 3 registered MP44
The bottom "skid" of the PTR44 bolt is narrower than the MP44. Could lead to problems with the hammer cutout in the receiver.

I have heard of people using original bolts in the SSD product but not the other way around. SSD made an excellent product as far as accuracy and looks - but their heat treating was horrible.
I ended up replacing most internal parts (bolt,op.rod/gas piston,sear and hammer) with original parts,the SSD parts broke or simply wore out.
No help from SSD of course.
Great Copy but really sad about their heat treating.
I have one of their FG42 I clones and my extractor wore out within a box of ammo. Back then they were still SSD and sent me a new and "improved one". I fired two shots and checked the extractor which then already had significant wear. I decided to stop and it has been a safe queen ever since.
The only product I had a great experience with was their BD38 (MP38 Clone) but sadly all 300 were confiscated by the RCMP.
