Anyone have an opinion or any experience with a Century Arms G3? (....imported parts with Century Arms reciever/ furniture)

And any imput on adding inexpensive optis like a 3-9 or 2.5-10?

The general response to Century Arms stuff is to generally skip it. I know some one with one of their G3 kits and it was hit or miss. It would often FTE or jam up for no reason. Didn't matter if it was good ammo or not.

I have two older model CETME with unground bolts that have been reliable so far with SA surplus, Barnaul 308, and GA Arms HP 308.

I have one of their G3'S and it feeds/ejects fine.  Only reason I bought it is that I paid $275.00 for it.  Couldn't pass it up.  I will probly save for a DSArms FN/FAL or a XCR.

I have a CETME and now a PTR91.

The CETME has always been reliable to me but once I got the PTR I could tell it was built a lot better and has a much smoother action.

I would pass on the Century Arms, some are good, most are bad to much of a gamble for what they cost now. Go with a real HK or a PTR-91.

FWIW, I have a century AES-10 and I love it. Over 1000 rounds through it now flawlessly.
