If you get a REAL MARS import CETME, they work flawlessly. Some one the CIAs work just as good, but you need a little luck to get that. Pros: * Functions good * Accurate * Nice big 7.62 as opposed to baby 5.56 Cons: * Stamped sheet steel (though this is not always a negative) * Hard to clean, and gets REALLY dirty * Usally throughs the brass into the next country, and deforms bass so that reloading is not possible |

visit gunboards.com and the fr8/cetme forum along with perros cetmerifles.com tons of all the info you want! that being said,, dont buy online,, checkitover 1st,,(get the list of what to look fors off perros site) clean clean clean,,then hit the range! its a hit and miss at times,, but id say outta 1000 rifles only 10 will be screw'd up ,,,,, 90% of the issue sthey have are just bad QC that be fix'd at home,, |

I picked up a Century Cetme a little over a year ago from a local gunsmith. I would definately look over any purchase you are considering first. I would also make sure if you have any problems you can come back to your seller for help. I know a lot of people will talk badly about a Cetme, but mine has been great from day one. I have done some changes, such as the wide forearm and retractable stock seen below. Otherwise, its been a lot of fun to shoot. The only thing needed to use the HK mags was some of them had to have the side tabs filed slightly to more easily lock in. I have a little over 2000 rounds through it now and like it as much as the day I got it. At the cost of any HK clone, this is more than worth the price..IMHO http://www.hunt101.com/img/216447.jpg |
