PTR91KFM4 - HK93 Hanguard fit question

General Firearms Other Semi-Automatic Rifles

I have a PTR91KFM4 which came with a railed handguard and the HK 93/33 length cocking tube.

It’s accurate and reliable but I’m not digging the rail on on this rifle so I purchased an HK 93 wide fore end. It is the correct length but fits very tight and I’m having trouble lining up and inserting the handguard pin.

The PTR’s barrel appears thicker than that of the 93/33 and I’m thinking that is causing the tight fit.

Any suggestions on getting it to fit ?

Thanks

Pretty sure they use the same guard on the 91k.

But PTR uses a non standard barrel so you might be out of luck.

No, you are not out of luck. . . you simply need to make a few minor mods to your HK93 wide handguard to get it to fit your PTR appropriately.

Please check out forum post #15 of the following thread, where I provide a few photos with descriptions of the mods I made to get a HK93 wide handguard to fit on my PTR32KFR rifle:

Thanks. HK Parts.net (PTR’s parts and accessories supplier) lists the HK 93 forearm as compatible - but obviously they are not 100% compatible.

I’ll break out the dremel and let you know how it comes ouy.

Glad I could be of assistance.

Once you get the mod work done, you are really going to like your PTR even moreso (I did anyway).

Whats that magazine release extension you have there?

It’s a RAM S12XC extended magazine release. I had to modify it to make it work. I made sure not to alter or mod the OEM mag release whatsoever. The work was worth the effort IMO, it works terrifically.
