i think that dmo nailed it when he suggested get a real hk94 if the budget can be stretched- in the end (maybe not even that far down the road) it will be cheaper and an increasing value item vs a clone.
some have good luck with coharies, vectors, special weapons- but it does seem to be a game of figuring out what is out of spec and replacing it. i sold my coharies and sw's, keeping my vector and the hk's. I would also take a strong look at dakota tactical (hkparts stocks them) or have a very good builder build off of a flat and a parts kit.
from my observations, the builders with the best turnaround and quality seem to be rdts, dakota tactical, and pcs in no particular order. (possibly turner fab but idk?)
take a look at what a hk replacement bolt carrier, bolt head, ejector lever, extractor and locking piece costs and compare to what a very nice parts kit complete costs- all of a sudden a cheap clone can be as expensive or worse than the real thing.
esp if you get one with a crooked or out of spec cocking tube or the locking piece is wrong for your ammo and you dimple the receiver etc. etc.
I have run tons of wwb 9mm thru my 94- it is as dirty as (insert metaphor here) but makes holes in paper in pretty decent sized groups. favorite snack though is the hirtenberger L7A1.....try it- you'll like it.
