whats the best hk 91 clone and how does it compare to the authentic hk

I would not consider any of them (ok maybe a vector).

The PTR's have issues with bolt gap (which is major).

I think you would be better served with an FAL variant.

I have shot the PTR clone next to my original Hk 91. Very similiar gun except for the heavy barrel on the PTR. The welds on the receiver look very good. If I where going to buy a clone that is what I would go with.
I have also looked at a few of the Springfield SAR rifles with the stamped receiver. They are very nice as they used original Hk tooling. These have gotten kind of expensive lately.

People seem to crap on the FA91( because a "friend" had one or they "read something" once) but I have one and it's a great rifle. I have close to 1k through it with 0 problems. You can get one for around 650 +/-. They aren't the sexiest gun in the world but it should slow down the zombie hoard.

With the price of 20 round aluminium surplus mags at .99 apiece you cant really go wrong if you find something reliable.

I think the Springfield Armory SA8 is the best out there as long as you get the one made in the Greek factory and not the junk aluminum receiver.The stamped S/A's are H&K spec just make in Greece on H&K machinery (G-3).

I would agree with this but the price seems to be getting too close to the real Hk for them to be an option.

I personally would buy a PTR reciever, a Pakistani parts kit from APEX, & see if RCM has .308 barrels yet. Then have one of the HK clone smiths build it for you.
I just sold mine, PTR reciever, Paki Parts kit, SAR8 barrel, & all green furniture..
Some of the factory PTRs are good, but from what i understand its a hit and miss deal & only shoots SOME ammo
Good Luck

Im not sure ive seen a vector 91, Ive seen vector 51s with perm attached FH to make legal rifle legnth.
As far as i know the PTRs had barrel flute trouble, which leads to an extraction problem. Bolt gap is major as far as function, but can be fixed by replacing +or- size rollers to a certain extent, if its too far out then it would be major because you would have to remove & repress barrel to get it back into acceptable specs.

Having said all that i agree with your last statement 100%, i would choose an FAL/L1A1 over a PTR any day. But i really like my L1A1

 

[sparks408]

what about the cetme .308? r they junk ? and how do they comepare to the L1A1..

 

[samot]

they say Cetmes are even more hit & miss than the PTRs. Ive known buddys with 2 cetmes, each ran flawlessly, but i would NOT pick them over my L1A1

I have never been able to br happy with clones. If you want a 91. Find odd jobs, scrimp on lunch money and buy the real deal. You won't have a piece of junk that is worth near zero and you can enjoy the real deal!
That said I am a FAL guy.

 

[alan robert]

I owned a HK91 back in the 80's. Nothing like the real thing.

 

[Indyidiot83]

I am VERY Happy with my L1A1,,,
