Stay away from the FA-91 and Hess is barely a step up from the FA. YMMV

    Are you sure your stepping in the right direction with Hess? Their's were some of the worst I have seen at gunshows.

    Hmmmmm. It seems the PTR91 has a lot more QC going on based off of reading everything I can, but that the CETME is no slouch. I like the sights on the PTR91 better though. I have begun negotiations for the PTR91 (NIB). Fingers crossed.

    Yes, I am sure I am stepping in the right direction the FA-91 is definitely a step below the Hess. Hess is about the bottom of the barrel to start with.
